This CEO’s startup has raised $92 million and is backed by Sundar Pichai. He shares his ‘superpower’ tip for aspiring entrepreneurs
Caesar Sengupta is co-founder and CEO of fintech startup Arta Finance. He says the biggest “superpower” that entrepreneurs can have is the ability to ground themselves. His no. 1 strategy for this is simple: “start meditating,” he said.
“There’s so much noise in the world,” Sengupta told CNBC Make It. The entrepreneurial path can be highly volatile, and founders will be pulled in many different directions, so being able to filter out what’s important from all of the noise is key, he added.
His no. 1 strategy for this is simple: “start meditating.”
“I wish three years back, somebody had sat me down and said: ‘Dude, like everything else [will] be fine. Just sit yourself down and meditate … know when to tune out,” he said.
Prior to co-founding the fintech startup in 2021, the 49-year-old spent about 15 years at Google where he led major projects such as Google Pay and the company’s “Next Billion Users” initiative.
It was at that big tech company where Sengupta met his co-founders and some of his first angel investors, including the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai.
To date, Arta Finance has raised over $92 million and is backed by prominent investors such as Sequoia Capital India and Ribbit Capital.
