About
I'm Vinay Krishna Gupta, the Co-Founder and CEO of Antino and Managing Director at Goldenflitch. My journey began in engineering and research at IIT Kharagpur, and over the years, I've transitioned from building iOS applications to scaling a global technology consultancy from just two people to over 500 employees. I am deeply passionate about responsible AI, believing it is a present responsibility that must be ethical and people-centric. Beyond the corporate world, I am committed to social impact through the Banshidhar Foundation, focusing on rural development and education. I'm here to offer my expertise in digital transformation and AI training while looking for promising startups to support as an angel investor. I value transparency, resilience, and meaningful dialogue that empowers society.
