In this episode of Focus on Founders, host Matthew Adams sits down with Aditya Mahapatra, founder of Augmentum Media, to unpack the real journey behind building a 7-figure health & wellness influencer management agency before the age of 21.

Aditya’s entrepreneurial journey didn’t begin with a business plan — it began with a serious injury that forced him to question his future, his identity, and what came next. That turning point led him to build an agency now working with global brands including Lululemon, Huel, Nestlé, Fabletics, and Fussy.

In this conversation, we go beyond surface-level success and talk honestly about:
– Starting a business at a young age
– Turning adversity into momentum
– Building and scaling a creator-led growth agency
– Operating in the health & wellness space
– Leadership, pressure, and staying in the game as a founder

Aditya is a two-time Scottish EDGE winner, an award-winning entrepreneur, and a TEDx speaker, regularly sharing insights on youth entrepreneurship, leadership, and building meaningful businesses from scratch.

This episode is for first-time founders, agency owners, and anyone navigating change while trying to build something they genuinely care about.
