Akshay Gupta, MTEI, BEcon

I am an Entrepreneur who is passionate about building the future. Art enthusiast. Mental Health Advocate. Blockchain lover. Design Thinking maniac. I live and breathe entrepreneurship space. I am currently working on my second startup after learning ten precious lessons from my first startup. I love focusing on customer discovery and the validation process. As an Entrepreneur with a Master of Technology Entrepreneurship and Innovation, I have years of experience with proven competence in Design Thinking, Product Development, Risk Assessment, Customer Engagement, Agile Development, Business Development and Business Transformation within the financial industry, consulting and startup industry; I can link corporate vision to the delivery of desired results through people empowerment and the effective use of resources, processes, and technologies. I have learned first-hand the impact of technology in the business world. Driven by my passion for learning more about technology, I went back to school to pursue my Master of Technology Entrepreneurship and Innovation (a graduate business degree specializing in tech-startups) from Saint Mary’s University in Canada. In school, I stumbled upon new emerging technologies, and ever since, I have been committed to identifying and implementing innovative solutions around the world. Because of my passion for new technologies, I have achieved my IBM Blockchain Foundation Developer certification. I am also a recipient of the “Durland Innovation Award” for a Blockchain application. I also hold an honours degree in Business Economics from the University of Delhi and a multitude of Design Thinking certifications. I am currently on a mission to change 1 billion lives through my mental health/ behavioural thinking company -- Bit Happier Inc.
