Ankit Mehra is the CEO and Founder of GyanDhan. He has graduated from IIT Kanpur at a Mechanical Engineering. Post his graduation, Ankit worked with CapitalOne, USA, for around 7 years. He left his job in 2013 and went on to pursue an MBA from IESE Business School - University of Navarra. At IESE, Ankit witnessed a lot of his MBA colleagues facing troubles arranging finances for their studies.
The slow and opaque application process and lack of financing options that did not account for future employability prospects of the students were contrary to the risk-based pricing framework he was accustomed to building at Capital One. In order to fill in the gap, he decided to move back to India in 2015, after his MBA. To start GyanDhan with the aim to simplify access to financing for higher education and make it meritocratic and easy.
