Aanchal Gupta founded Agents Stack in response to persistent, unresolved customer challenges—particularly those with high-value and deeply impactful use cases. As a Founder, her passion for tackling complex problems, especially in cybersecurity and digital transformation, exposed her to a consistent pattern: most existing products were not built with the end-user in Asia in mind. This disconnect resulted in poor adoption of critical technologies in essential infrastructure sectors—the very industries that employ a significant portion of the population in emerging markets.
Why Aanchal Gupta Took the Hard Road?
Recognizing this gap, Aanchal decided to act. The early days of building Agents Stack were marked by excitement, driven by a mission-focused team eager to make a difference. But enthusiasm alone wasn’t enough—each day brought its own set of failures and hard-earned lessons. Operationalizing industrial use cases proved to be resource-intensive, and doing so with a bootstrapped team stretched financial and personal limits.
Perhaps the toughest decision Aanchal had to make was stepping away from a high-paying job to pursue her vision. Convincing her family to support a year without income was a deeply personal challenge—but one she felt necessary to create real, long-term impact.
Adapting at Speed
Aanchal Gupta believes that one of the most important traits for any founder is the ability to acknowledge what they don’t know—and to actively seek out those missing pieces. For her, building a strong team meant finding people with that same mindset: individuals comfortable with rapid experimentation, failure, learning, and continuous adaptation.
Agents Stack didn’t take the easy route—it began by working with large enterprises and government clients. These organizations are often complex, with layered decision-making and intricate stakeholder dynamics. Solving deep-rooted problems in such environments demanded a careful balance of persistence and humility. Aanchal emphasized the importance of being a consistent listener—learning from users, customers, and partners to identify gaps and iterate accordingly.
She also recognizes that the speed of growth is closely tied to the strength of the ecosystem around a founder. The more mentors and advisors who come on board, the faster the company can evolve and scale.
The Agents Stack Way
Aanchal leads Agents Stack with a trust-based, high-autonomy style, intervening only when critical leadership is required. Her foundation is built on high ethics, integrity, curiosity, and openness to feedback, which define the company’s culture and hiring strategy.
Agents Stack is a unique consulting-led platform that uses AI-powered solutions for industrial operations and resource efficiency. They provide end-to-end transformation—from strategy to implementation—and align their pricing to measurable customer impact.
The company is structured for scalability, with an embedded succession plan to ensure leadership evolves effectively as the business grows.
Talent from Within
Aanchal Gupta prioritizes mentoring and internal promotion, fostering growth and leadership from within the team. Her business focus is on being a strategic advisor who delivers measurable outcomes, first solving urgent customer problems and uncovering untapped value to become a long-term partner in change.
Agents Stack is now consolidating its tech stack for efficiency and pursuing deep collaborations with large enterprises. Through these strategic alliances, Aanchal aims to accelerate B2B2C product launches and build industry platforms around critical emerging market issues like land, labor, and biodiversity laws.
10x Outcomes, Real Jobs
Under Aanchal Gupta’s leadership, Agents Stack has grown to a team of over 40 people—and continues to expand rapidly, driven by a strong pipeline of young talent. With operations now spanning across Asia, the company is set to enter the Middle East in October through key regional collaborations, further accelerating its footprint in emerging markets.
Aanchal maintains a sharp focus on impact-oriented metrics: user adoption, jobs created, and overall ecosystem value. Her goal is clear—to deliver 10x ROI for customers while contributing meaningfully to the broader economy.
For Aanchal, meaningful work goes beyond business metrics. She believes in aligning individual passions with impactful roles that generate real value—not just for the company, but for society at large. Her product philosophy is grounded in a clear principle: build only when there’s a validated use case, a clear market gap, and potential to create positive economic value. This disciplined approach to innovation ensures that Agents Stack doesn’t just ship features—it builds solutions that matter.
Tech that Serves the Problem
Aanchal Gupta’s innovation philosophy is simple yet powerful: follow the world’s most pressing problems—and build the right technology to solve them. This problem-first approach keeps Agents Stack grounded in relevance while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with technology. When other companies have already built strong products, Aanchal focuses on collaboration over competition—partnering to fill gaps in implementation, integration, or complementary capabilities rather than duplicating effort.
The core team at Agents Stack has a track record of delivering high-impact projects for some of the world’s largest enterprises, consistently generating multi-million-dollar value. While many current client engagements remain confidential due to sensitivity and scale, past and referenceable work includes collaborations with companies like Cloudflare, Dow Chemicals, Quant Fund, and Scandit.
This deep enterprise experience positions the company to build scalable, outcome-driven solutions—and to do so in a way that respects existing innovation while pushing the envelope where it truly matters.

Balance through Outcomes
