Introducing Dr. Gauravv Mittal: The Versatile Monk Behind ITCONS’ Success
Known in business circles as “The Monk with a Midas Touch,” Dr. Gauravv Mittal exemplifies how visionary leadership and grounded wisdom can turn dreams into reality. An Electrical Engineer with an MBA in Finance and International Marketing, a Certified PMP, and holder of honorary doctorates in Ayurveda, Astrology, and Vaastu Sciences, Dr. Mittal embodies versatility. His dynamic career began in high-ranking IT roles before he founded ITCONS e-Solutions Ltd. in 2007, with a bold vision to transform hiring through technology-driven solutions.

The Genesis of an Entrepreneurial Vision
Dr. Mittal’s transition from a successful IT professional to a pioneering first generation entrepreneur, was fuelled by his keen observation of inefficiencies in technical hiring processes. Identifying these gaps inspired him to create ITCONS, a company designed to revolutionise staffing through customised solutions integrated with technology.
