At the age of 19, Kounal Gupta discovered that there exists a lot of gap between the industry requirements and the university’s style of teaching. Therefore, he started finding the solutions to bridge this and establish something that can make educated employable (which is the firm’s tagline as well: ‘We make educated employable’). In his pursuit of a solution to this problem, Gupta established Henry Harvin in the same year without dropping his college with an aim to revolutionize the Ed-Tech space.[8]
