Dr. Anshul Saxena is a rare blend of psychologist, educator, innovator, and technologist. Currently based at Christ University, Pune, he heads the Center for Emerging Business Technologies. A published author and patent holder, Dr. Saxena has trained over 1,000 professionals and designed academic blueprints adopted across India. His career bridges disciplines—psychology, finance, and artificial intelligence—showcasing a unique multidisciplinary brilliance.

He has pioneered initiatives such as India’s first management-school-led conference on Quantum Computing for Business Applications, breaking barriers between academia and industry. With books like Financial Modeling Using Quantum Computing and Generative AI in BFSI, he has established himself as a thought leader who simplifies complex technologies into actionable insights. Beyond academics, his passions include reading, cooking, and fostering sustainable living practices.

Raised in a small town in Rajasthan, Anshul’s path to academia was unexpected—he once considered himself an underconfident and mischievous student. His turning point came when he left his role as a risk analyst at TCS to teach at a rural college, a decision that reshaped his destiny.

With a PhD in AI focused on forecasting and quantum machine learning, his research explored the emotional impact of traders on stock markets using natural language processing. His belief in being a “T-shaped professional”—deep expertise in one field, breadth across many—guides his philosophy for education and career success.
