Archit Gupta is the Founder and CEO of ClearTax, India’s leading financial technology platform focused on simplifying finance for millions of individuals and enterprises. With over a decade of experience bridging complex financial regulations and scalable technology, he brings leadership to India’s rapidly digitising economy.

Archit began his career as a software engineer in Silicon Valley, where he was immersed in the rapid scale of tech innovation. The transition from building software in the Bay Area to solving foundational problems in India came when he took the entrepreneurial leap in 2011, returning home to build ClearTax from the ground up. In a landscape traditionally defined by manual processes and complex regulations, he saw that software had the power to make tax filing and compliance simple and accessible for everyone.

He holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a B.Tech from IIT Guwahati, giving him a distinctive analytical and technical foundation in building enterprise-grade software. Archit writes on the evolving role of artificial intelligence in finance and taxation, India’s macroeconomic digitisation, and practical insights into personal finance and wealth management.

ClearTax started as a simple consumer tax-filing tool, launched entirely bootstrapped just days before the tax deadline and has since grown into a full-stack financial ecosystem backed by Y Combinator and marquee global investors. The firm today serves millions of taxpayers and tens of thousands of businesses across India, bringing a blend of intuitive design and deep domain expertise to every platform offering.
