Raghav Gupta — CEO

Hi, I’m Raghav, and I build companies that help India’s workforce stay employable and financially confident in a world where AI is changing everything faster than people can keep up. My work sits in two spaces that define the Indian middle class more than anything else: jobs and money. I started Futurense after realizing something unusual - India has engineers everywhere, yet companies kept saying they “can’t find good tech talent”. I realised the talent wasn’t the problem, the training was. So we built a model that fixes the gap from both ends - academia and industry. - We partner with IITs and IIMs to design AI-focused degrees and certification programs taught by IIT faculty and global tech leaders, giving learners a genuine second chance at the IIT experience. - On the other side, we work directly with Fortune 500 companies and leading GCCs through Hire-Train-Deploy and specialised hiring programs, offering free, high-quality training paired with financial stability to create deployment-ready AI talent. - We’re also building dual-coursework pathways with US and European universities, where students complete part of their degree online in India and the rest on campus at schools like Drexel, Rutgers, and Paris Business School, making global education affordable, and Indian talent a genuine export again, not just a cost arbitrage. Today, 25,000+ professionals trained through Futurense have been placed into GCCs and global tech teams that needed high-quality AI talent yesterday. Our goal is simple: give people a fair shot at careers that actually move upward. But jobs are only half the problem. The other half is what happens after you earn. That’s why I helped build the 1% Club, now 400,000+ paid members strong, a financial education community which is now evolving into a Money OS -  a system that helps people track, analyse, and act on their finances with the kind of intelligence that used to be reserved for private bankers. I’m interested in how AI will reshape: - The labour market - Engineering roles and workflows - Wealth creation for the middle class - India’s shift from IT outsourcing to AI engineering leadership And in the middle of all the AI noise, I still believe that technology can scale systems, but humans scale outcomes, because the real leverage comes from how we think, behave, and make decisions, shaped by the three Ps I constantly explore: philosophy, psychology, and politics. So, if you're building for India’s talent, India’s financial future, or anywhere AI is pushing boundaries, we’ll have a lot to talk about.
