Dr. Gauravv Mittal: The Modern Polymath

Dr. Gauravv Mittal is a modern polymath whose achievements span technology, finance, investment, stock market trading, astro-numerology, Ayurveda, and philanthropy. His journey from a technology professional to a visionary entrepreneur, chronicled in his bestselling book “A Monk with a Merc”, reflects a rare combination of strategic foresight, analytical rigour, and a commitment to creating meaningful impact.

An Electrical Engineer with an MBA in Finance and International Marketing, Dr. Mittal is also a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and holds an Honorary Doctorate in Ayurveda, Astrology, and Vaastu Sciences from American University. With over 25 years of experience across multiple leadership roles, including Chief Technology Officer, Project Manager, and Program Manager, he recognised the potential of IT staffing services as early as 2007. This foresight led to the founding of ITCONS e-Solutions Limited, a company that has grown under his guidance from a startup into a multi-award-winning, IPO-listed enterprise having given one of the highest return in India to their investors within one and half year of getting listed on BSE(Bombay Stock Exchange).

Across all pursuits, Dr. Mittal’s drive for excellence continues to inspire teams, influence industries, and redefine leadership in the 21st century.

The Genesis of ITCONS e-Solutions

Every great enterprise begins with a problem that demands a solution. For Dr. Gauravv Mittal, the challenge was personal. While working in prestigious IT companies, he experienced firsthand the inefficiencies in technical hiring, from managing resumes to evaluating candidates objectively, and ensuring compliance proved cumbersome and time-consuming. He says, “These frustrations made me think, why not create a solution that could streamline the entire recruitment process and bring efficiency, transparency, and innovation to staffing?”

In 2013, this idea took shape with the founding of ITCONS e-Solutions. Dr. Mittal brought together a team of skilled IT professionals to develop software-driven solutions that simplified hiring and workforce management. What began as a solution for internal recruitment challenges quickly evolved into a full-fledged staffing and recruitment enterprise. Today, ITCONS has grown into a PAN-India organisation, trusted by businesses across industries for its innovative, technology-enabled approach to human capital management. With a management team drawn from premier institutes and bringing over 500 person-years of experience, ITCONS has built a strong foundation that combines technical expertise with strategic vision, positioning the company as a leader in workforce solutions.

Navigating Early Challenges

In the early days of ITCONS e-Solutions, Dr. Gauravv Mittal faced the kind of challenges every startup founder knows too well: limited resources, tight cash flow, and the daunting task of building a skilled team from scratch. But he possessed what many lacked, a rare blend of charisma, approachability, and genuine empathy that allowed him to inspire trust, win over talent, and turn initial challenges into opportunities for growth.

Convincing professionals to join a fledgling venture demanded a leader who could communicate a purpose bigger than immediate rewards. Dr. Mittal’s transparent, people-first approach transformed sceptics into believers. He says, “Every challenge is an opportunity to innovate and show that leadership blends strategy with human touch.” These formative experiences shaped ITCONS’ culture and cemented his reputation as a leader who turns obstacles into stepping stones.

The Human Side of Leadership

Dr. Gauravv Mittal’s growth from an IT professional to a visionary entrepreneur has been less about titles and more about lessons. In the early years, he admits to being a perfectionist, demanding flawless execution even if it meant overlooking cost considerations or market realities. But as the journey unfolded, he realised that leadership isn’t about controlling every detail. It’s about building trust, encouraging collaboration, and creating space for others to step up. Today, while he sets the bar high, he allows his core team the freedom to make decisions and take ownership.

At the centre of his philosophy is a simple but powerful belief. “I firmly believe people grow when they are empowered, given space to learn, and encouraged to network,” Dr. Mittal emphasises. Continuous learning, networking, and providing teams with the space to grow, asserting that entrepreneurial success at the strategic level relies on financial smartness and market insight, but at the operational level, it hinges on understanding and managing people effectively.

This philosophy naturally extends to ITCONS e-Solutions, where the company’s values reflect his vision. Respect for clients, adherence to international standards, privacy, equal opportunity employment, and privacy guide every decision, interaction, and process. These principles give ITCONS its character, making it a place where transparency, trust, and integrity define the work culture and way of life.

Innovation, in particular, remains a core driving force. Dr. Mittal has nurtured an environment where quick decisions and process improvements are encouraged, where teams are free to experiment, and where every challenge is seen as a chance to do better. For him, leadership has never been just about strategies or numbers but about people, values, and the courage to keep improving.
