About Founder Img

Meet the Founder

Aakash Gupta

Originally from Sydney, Australia, Aakash has worked most of his career from home, co-working spaces or cafés. He also embraced a digital nomad lifestyle for six months across Europe in 2019.

He has over five years’ experience in remote team management, leading sales, marketing and development teams across India and the UK.

He started his journey as a remote team manager after being tasked to set up an offshore marketing and sales team in Bangalore, India for his family software company.

After returning to Sydney and then moving to London, he realised there was no hard and fast ‘playbook’ to help remotely manage his newly built team, igniting the idea of Sorry, I Was on Mute.
