Episode 70: Rajdip Gupta, Founder & Managing Director at Route Mobile Limited

“Scale sensibly to sustain — that’s the only way to build a lasting company!” 🚀

— Rajdip Gupta, Founder & Managing Director at Route Mobile Limited, in conversation with Anurag Aggarwal

From bootstrapping Route Mobile in 2004 with just $2,000 and a second-hand PC…

To building a $1.2 billion publicly listed global 'proficorn' (profitable unicorn) that is proudly 'Made in India, Built for the World'…

To leading one of the largest CPaaS exits ever, and now steering the company within Proximus Group, along with Telesign and BICS as the newly formed Proximus Global…

Rajdip’s journey is a rare story of vision, resilience, and people-first leadership!

In this episode of Humans of Telecom, Rajdip opens up about:

💻 The early days of coding Route Mobile on a 486 second-hand PC

📈 The rollercoaster ride from bootstrapped startup to IPO on Bombay Stock Exchange in 2020

🌍 Scaling globally while staying rooted in values of profitability & sustainability

🏏 His unreal cricket story — from being denied a chance to play for lack of $30 spike shoes, to today owning Route Mobile’s professional cricket team

❤️ His most emotional moment: when office boys and drivers became shareholders and cried seeing life-changing money in their accounts

🌿 And - along with his brother Sandip - diversifying through Sanraj Family Ventures which spans across telecom, hospitality, renewable energy, sports, and even a 350-bed charitable cancer hospital in Mumbai

Rajdip’s story reminds us that success isn’t just about creating enterprises, but about empowering people, creating opportunities, and giving back to society!
