Gaurav Mittal is from a service-class family, and it was probably this that stirred in him the passion to live life differently and see things from a perspective different from others. It was while pursuing his BTech at KNIT in Sultanpur, seeing eminent businessmen visit as guest speakers, that Gaurav realised he wanted to become an entrepreneur too. His next obvious step was doing MBA, which he did undertake with specialisation in finance and international marketing at Narsee Monjee Institute of Management and Higher Studies (NMIMS), Mumbai. 

The years following saw him rise as a highly-placed employee with corporate giants like Wipro and Computer Science Corp. ATS Services, the last company in the list of companies he worked with, saw him grow as an IT head. As the business head of the entire IT segment, Gaurav made was responsible for all the major decisions pertaining to IT, which only resulted in greater profits for the organisation. Convinced that he could now strike out on his own, and sure-footed about ushering in a revolution in the recruitment industry by using cutting edge technology, Gaurav along with his elder brother Ujjwal launched ITCONS e-solutions in 2007, a software development company, at Noida. 

In an industry where big companies are scaling up and newer companies are looking for the right talent, it is vital for recruitment agencies to be able to place the right candidates at the right job. The general recruiting process involves receiving resumes and manually entering the details into an excel sheet — an extremely time-consuming and error-prone process. The Mittals brought automation to this area of industry. Together, they developed Resume Parser, a product based on artificial intelligence. And with this, the entire effort of scanning a resume, manually typing the information and modifying wherever required became redundant.
