About
The long way taught me more
than shortcuts ever could.
I’m Rajendra Gupta — founder, operator, and product builder based in Lucknow, India. I advise founders across India and Australia. I work at the intersection of product, growth, and systems. Not as a consultant standing outside the problem, but as someone who builds from the inside.
Rajendra Gupta is a startup founder, product builder, and operator based in Lucknow, India, serving clients across India and Australia. He is the Founder and CEO of Celestial IT Verse Pvt. Ltd., where he has completed 250+ client projects across web development, mobile apps, CRM systems, and SaaS. He has built Driver Gill, Aajeevansang, AAG, and Snap Visionary. He is currently building VyapTrust, India’s first behaviour-based MSME trust score platform. He advises early-stage founders on MVP development, product strategy, and go-to-market execution.
My story
I didn't start with funding or a plan. I started with experiments.
My journey didn’t begin with a clean origin story. Small projects, early failures, real doubt — and a very deliberate simplification that changed everything.
I built early projects, saw things fail, felt the pressure. Instead of quitting, I simplified. Execution, clarity, fundamentals. That process led to something real.
I founded Tap For Tech first — learned to build and deliver for clients. That became Celestial IT Verse Pvt. Ltd., which has now completed 250+ projects and launched 4 live products.
What I know now: most founders fail not from lack of effort, but from lack of clarity. That’s where I focus — in India and increasingly in Australia.
Who I work with
India & Australia — both markets, one approach
I understand both ecosystems and how to bridge them for founders and businesses operating in either or both markets.
