Joy Dasgupta is the CEO of Gyan, bringing over a decade of experience in leadership roles across companies like Hewlett Packard, American Express, and Genpact. His career has been shaped by a unique blend of technology and business, starting from his early days building a bookkeeping system for his uncle’s business during college.

In the podcast, Joy reflects on his journey into AI, highlighting the importance of grounding and explainability when applying AI solutions in enterprise settings. He discusses how adaptability and empathy have been key to his leadership style, especially after seven international relocations that taught him the need to tailor strategies to different cultural contexts. At Gyan, he focuses on creating AI tools that are safe, transparent, and user-controlled—features that matter deeply in regulated fields like finance and healthcare.
