Rijul Gupta — Product Manager

I'm that person who gets just as excited about spotting an undervalued stock as I do about tinkering with my Fantasy Premier League lineup. My fascination with technology led me to pursue Computer Science Engineering, where I was eager to explore the field and build a career in tech. After graduation, I landed my first role in process automation where I discovered my love for understanding how business workflows function and finding ways to make them more efficient. What started as a technical role quickly evolved as I realized the real value comes from bridging the gap between technology and business needs. That realization led me toward more client-facing responsibilities, working directly with stakeholders to translate complex technical solutions into business value. There's genuine satisfaction in helping teams align on solutions that actually solve the problems they're trying to fix. These days you'll usually find me diving deep into company earnings or market data. The same analytical mindset I apply to investing also drives how I approach process improvements, evaluate new tools, and (yes) build a competitive fantasy squad. What keeps me motivated? A genuine curiosity about how systems work, whether it's market dynamics, emerging technologies, or business processes that could run smoother. I'm always experimenting with new tools and approaches to turn insights into real impact. I'm exploring roles in analytics, project management, or research that bring me closer to the financial markets space I'm passionate about. If you enjoy discussing data, technology, or the business challenges they can solve, let's connect.
