Gaurav Gupta — CEO
I build scalable education and AI-led businesses by combining enterprise rigor, entrepreneurial execution, and deep partnerships with premium institutions. My journey started in enterprise consulting and sales operations, where I worked closely with stakeholders, systems, and processes to drive growth at scale.
