Arvind Gupta on Improving the World through Venture Capitalism

March 08, 2022 • Arvind Gupta • Season 2 • Episode 5

Arvind Gupta is a genetic engineer and venture capitalist whose approach to investment is driven by trying to better the planet, yet without the use of moral arguments and platforms. Instead, his approach to business draws on his personal experience with mortality and behavioral insights into how people can and cannot be convinced of a need for change. Arvind is also an accomplished rock climber, BASE jumper, and mixed martial artist.
