For many entrepreneurs, building a company leaves little time for academics, but Thota Mahesh Babu chose a different path. A Chartered Accountant and founder of MetaAspire, Mahesh has spent the last several years working in finance, professional education, and technology-driven learning. As artificial intelligence and automation continue to reshape the finance industry, he believed that staying relevant required continuous learning—not just experience.
After completing the Executive Post Graduate Programme (EPGP) at IIM Visakhapatnam, he pursued a master’s at IIT Kanpur to deepen his understanding of technology and its growing role in finance and business automation.
