Anshu Gupta is an Indian social entrepreneur who founded Goonj, a non-governmental organization (NGO) headquartered in Delhi.
Gupta is an Ashoka fellow and was conferred with the "Social Entrepreneur of the Year Award" by Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship in 2012. He won the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 2015. Rewriting many rules of the development sector Anshu made the masses his prime focus – not only as givers and receivers of material but also as the prime source of money, skills, and services. He also structured imaginative solutions with an urban surplus, to some basic but neglected needs outside the radar of the development sector and the civil society.
Over the years as Goonj garnered major awards, including World Bank’s Development Marketplace award and NASA’s Launch award, Anshu also won recognition as an Ashoka and Schwab Fellow while he was also listed as one of India’s top social entrepreneurs by Forbes Magazine and Fast Company.
Now Anshu is focused on the global replication of his model to bridge the massive gap of social and economic inequities between urban prosperity and rural poverty. He speaks extensively on national and international forums to instigate urban and rural masses to engage more deeply with the issues faced by society.

Why We Make Bad Investment Decisions?
Sandeep Jethwani
Co-Founder at Dezerv
Sandeep Jethwani
Introducing Sandeep Jethwani, a renowned investment manager and co-founder of Dezerv, an innovative wealth management firm that provides simplified investment solutions for working professionals in India.
As the son of two PSU bankers, Sandeep grew up with a deep understanding of the importance of managing money well. After graduating from IIM Bangalore, he embarked on a 17-year career managing wealth for India's ultra-wealthy across different industries and geographies.
However, Sandeep felt restless because he knew that most Indian working professionals did not have access to the same level of expertise and investment opportunities as the ultra-wealthy. Many people either did not invest or invested ad-hoc, leading to poor long-term returns.
Determined to solve this problem, Sandeep and his team at Dezerv offer an investment management program designed to cater to the investment needs of Indian working professionals. With Dezerv, you can invest in expert-managed mutual fund portfolios, market-linked debentures, and early-stage businesses or startups alongside top VCs and founders.
In just one year, Dezerv manages over 1400+ crores of assets for their clients. With their wealth check-up app, you can receive a comprehensive assessment of your investment portfolio from top financial experts in India and get recommendations on how to optimize your investments.
