My Story

Struggle, study and words. The plain, honest story of how an ordinary girl became the Rich Thinker.

Dr. Ankita Mulani
Rich Thinker

Where it began

The girl who studied in other people's homes

My life took shape between Surat and Amreli. To keep studying I had to live in other people's homes, and that is where I learned that responsibility does not wait for you to grow up. Those years made me strong from the inside.

After finishing a BBA and an MBA in Finance, I taught Class 11 and 12 commerce students for three years from 2015. Then I joined a school in Surat as an accountant. My days were spent with numbers, but my mind kept wandering back to words.

Writing every day comes to me as naturally as breathing. I have written more than 50 short stories, along with songs, ghazals and pieces drawn from real life. There is enough unpublished writing to fill over ten diaries still waiting for readers. My first short novel came out in February 2020, and I have since worked as a co-author on seven books.

Today lakhs of people stay connected with me on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Pratilipi. The talks with young people and families, the columns, and the school I started for children all grow from one simple wish: that the way we think becomes a little more beautiful.

What I stand for

So what is Rich Thinking?

01

The A+ lens

Whatever the subject, present it in a positive light. That is why every piece carries an A+.

02

Love and emotion

Love and emotion sit at the heart of my writing, because they are what keep relationships alive.

03

Family and values

Understanding family, festivals and relationships, and learning how to hold on to them.

04

Youth and education

Giving students, teachers and young people a clear direction and the courage to follow it.

If my words shift someone's thinking even a little towards the positive, that is the biggest achievement I could ask for.
