Meet Rajiv Gupta, the man who has elevated the gigantic credentialing ecosystem to more than 180 countries in just six years
What do you get when you cross an insatiable ambition to dominate the knowledge industry with a world class education from the crème de la crème of management schools, and top it off with multiple awards and accolades? If you were to personify all of the above, the answer would be the man who has singlehandedly led the establishment and global footprint of what today is the world’s largest credentialing consortium with a presence in literally every region.
CredForce, the world’s largest credentialing ecosystem spanning 180+ countries with more than 50 proprietary certification products and 18 knowledge standard frameworks is a multi-award winning conglomerate. If that’s too much to take in a single sentence, also consider that they have consistently ranked among the BRICS 100 fastest growing companies, and Rajiv has earned multiple awards ranging from the Entrepreneur of the year by prestigious publications to the Asia Pacific Entrepreneurship Awards 2018 felicitation for professional and business services.
CredForce has achieved, in its short life, what is mostly a dream for most startups. It has consistently been honored by some of the most prestigious publications in business, including Silicon India, CIO Review, The CEO Magazine to name just a few. CredForce has grown at a scorching pace since its inception and the speed of its expansion and subsequent domination, in emerging verticals and markets has only ticked higher with each passing year. It is already the single largest unified ecosystem in global credentialing with offices in Austin, Palo Alto, Gurugram, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Glasgow, Singapore and Cape Town. This runs parallel to its vast strategic partner network and technology platforms which also provide last-mile reach. Its growth numbers speak for themselves, perhaps louder than the awards they have received in a short span.
An Ardent Leader
The President & Group CEO of CredForce, Rajiv Gupta is a prominent ranker in various media publications has always been a believer in the power of knowledge and growth. Being a world leader and global influencer in education and credentialing is but just a natural outcome of his persona; a fact demonstrated by the high degree of loyalty and motivation that he inspires among his employees across the world. It would not be an exaggeration to call Rajiv a phenomenon all by himself, either. After completing his master’s in Human Resource Management, he went on to earn an MBA from the internationally renowned Indian School of Business. And if that wasn’t enough, the next few years saw him complete his Fellow program from the Wharton School in multiple disciplines and rise in the ranks in corporate people management, from head of Human Resources for Asia Pacific, to the head of People Development in a large-scale enterprise like Moser Baer. Always an entrepreneur at heart, he had already been an angel investor in several startups and communities right from the early stages of his career.
