Himanshu Singh Interview

 “Why the man behind Himanshu Singh believes confidence is built through action, not motivation.”

Q. What first pulled you toward e-commerce, and when did teaching others become your main focus?

E-commerce was never a childhood dream for me. It started purely from need. I wanted freedom, i.e., freedom of time, location, and income. I didn’t want to spend 30 or 40 years asking for permission to live life on my own terms.

In the beginning, it was just me trying to figure things out. Late nights, YouTube videos, trial and error, losses, and small wins. There was no big vision at that stage; it was just survival and learning.

The real turning point came when people around me started asking, "Brother, how did you do it?" When I guided them and saw them move faster than I ever did, avoiding the mistakes I made, that feeling hit differently. That's when I realized this wasn't just about business anymore. Helping others win gave me a sense of impact, and that's when teaching sellers stopped being a side activity and became my main mission.

Q. How do you explain your work to someone who knows nothing about business?

I keep it very simple. I usually say:

“I help people earn through the internet so they don’t have to depend on just one income.” No technical words. No business jargon.

If they’re curious, I will explain more. If not, that one line is enough. For me, clarity matters more than sounding impressive.

Q. What’s the biggest mindset block you see in beginners, and how do you help them overcome it?

The most common block is self-doubt. Almost everyone comes in thinking, “Can I pull it off or not?" 

They don’t doubt e-commerce as a system. They doubt themselves. They believe others are smarter, luckier, or more confident.

Instead of giving motivational speeches, I focus on proof. I give them small, simple tasks and help them achieve quick wins. Once they see even a little progress, the fear starts fading on its own.

Confidence isn’t something you teach with words. It’s earned through action.

Q. What was the most chaotic or self-doubt-filled phase of your journey?

There was a phase when nothing felt stable. Income was unpredictable, family pressure was constant, and social media made it look like everyone else was succeeding while I was stuck.

Some days I felt behind. Some days, I seriously thought about quitting and choosing something “safe.” That phase shook me mentally.

But it also taught me one of the most important lessons of my life: clarity doesn’t come before action; it comes after surviving chaos. That period broke my ego and built my discipline. Without going through that instability, the confident version people see today wouldn’t exist.

Q. What’s your biggest green flag when picking a product, and has any product surprised you?

My biggest green flag is simple: does the product solve a real, everyday problem, and are people already buying similar products?

It doesn’t need to be unique or exciting. It needs to be useful, repeatable, and necessary. I once tested a product that I personally found boring. No hype, no excitement. I almost ignored it. 

But that product quietly became one of the most consistent sellers because customers weren’t looking for excitement; they were looking for a solution. That experience taught me something I never forgot: your opinion doesn’t matter. Customer behaviour does.
