Summary

Hyperlocal recruitment entrepreneur: Gaurav has focused his entrepreneurial energy on making hiring local and accessible.

Chartered‑accountant‑turned‑founder with audit and international exposure: Trained as a CA (ICAI) and a B.Com (St. Xavier's), Gaurav worked on assurance / SOX assignments (including a client stint in Unil / Unilever South Africa while at Capgemini). That finance and audit background informs a structured approach to building recruitment operations and franchise economics. recex+1
