About Mikail Naqvi

Hi, my name is Mika’il Naqvi, and I’m a student at Duke University studying economics. I’ve been an entrepreneur since I was 13, when my brother and I pitched our product, Ornament Anchor, on Shark Tank. Since then, we’ve grown it into a seven-figure business featured on CNN, Good Morning America, Entrepreneur Magazine, and The New York Times. Now, I\'m passionate about sharing our story with the next generation and inspiring young entrepreneurs to jumpstart their ideas. When I’m not building a business, you’ll find me lost in history books, maps or the news. In my free time, I love creative writing and I\'m an avid long-distance runner who just completed my first half-marathon! Thanks for visiting my profile & feel free to connect.
