Arun Gupta, CEO of NobleReach Foundation, promotes a dual career path for talent in the private and public sectors. He experienced a disconnect between students in these fields while teaching at Stanford, prompting him to address the narrative that individuals must choose one path over the other. Through initiatives like the NobleReach Scholars program and his book "Venture Meets Mission," Gupta aims to bridge the gap, showing that it is possible to balance profit and purpose while honoring a tradition of public service, which he personally values deeply.
"One moment that crystallized this for me was when I was teaching a class called Valley Meets Mission at Stanford. I saw incredibly talented and entrepreneurial students who didn't see public service as a viable part of their career journey and, similarly, public policy students who didn't view entrepreneurship as part of theirs."
"Gupta's efforts have centered on creating an ecosystem for tech talent to become 'dual citizens' of both the public and private sectors, such as the NobleReach Scholars program, which gives early-career professionals hands-on experience in public service and cutting-edge challenges."
