The Dasgupta Family

What binds a person with his family is mutual love and understanding. For me, my father – Bikram Dasgupta – has been the one constant source of motivation in my life. While my father inspired me with his entrepreneurial vision, my mother – Ranjana Dasgupta – instilled in me a strong value system that acts as a compass in my decision making and way of living. Since the beginning of my professional life, I have always been very passionate about working in the education sector in India and transforming the lives of the youth. Likewise, my brother – Romit Dasgupta – who always had a tech and financial-bent of mind, brought a global outlook, strategic vision, and a profound passion for venture building. With my wife and spiritual partner – Janine Pakiry – I share a dream of building a legacy together, learning from each other, and giving back to the society by contributing to causes that we both believe in.
My family continues to be my strong support system – they have always been my most honest critics, sturdiest anchors, and the best cheerleading team I could have ever asked for!
