Anupam Mittal's LinkedIn Post About Daughter’s Middle Name Goes Viral

Entrepreneur Anupam Mittal is again in the limelight, this time not for any investment, business, or Shark Tank, but because of a post he recently shared about his daughter Alyssa and her middle name. Let's get into more details.

Anupam Mittal, founder of People Group and Shaadi.com, recent post on LinkedIn is making rounds on the internet. He shares about his daughter that they wanted to break the traditional norm and wanted to choose a middle name for a daughter that is more meaningful, unlike Indian tradition, where the family's last name is used.

The reason being, according to Anupam, a child's name often has their father's name, and later when the girl marries, it is replaced by their husband's name. Leaving little to no room for her own identity, and keeping that in mind, he named his daughter Alyssa Anantara instead of giving her his name, Anupam, as a middle name.

Explaining her daughter's name, Anupam said that "Anantara" means limitless and is also a name for Saraswati, the goddess of wisdom.

He also mentioned that why they kept this name was because they wanted her to be recognized as an individual in her own right, rather than being defined by her relationships to others.

Interesting approach, isn't it?

His caption wrote, "In a world where women are still introduced as someone's daughter, someone's wife, someone's mother...we just wanted her to start as herself. This wasn't a grand gesture. It won't change the world.
But for us, it felt like the right place to begin. A quiet way to say, We believe in equality. In her, in her choices, in her future! And that felt enough," he concluded the post.
