PSL 5: Who Owns Mumbai Anchors?

Mehul Shah, Puneet Mehra and Rishikesh Shah are owners of the Mumbai Anchors team in the Pocket52 Poker Sports League. Shah is the managing director of Anchor Group and has always been a person with a vision of the future in his eyes. Joining his father’s company at the age of 19, he learned everything that was needed to understand the switch-making business.

He always knew that he would spearhead the company in future and had shared how he learnt everything from his father, who would take care of most of the company’s operations. Shah’s leadership propelled the company to realize the value they had created for the brand in the market, which saw them widen the horizon and enter the unchartered territory of manufacturing lights, wires, fans and paints.

Being the second generation entrepreneur, Shah was always under pressure to perform, with expectations demanding him to outperform his predecessor. Shah did not disappoint and played a crucial role in re-launching Anchor’s electrical division in 2014. Speaking with entrepreneur.com during an interview, Shah was seen giving advice to upcoming entrepreneurs stating, “never sell your business or passion.”
