Gautam was born in New Delhi, India. He came to the U.S. on a one-way ticket with $750 in his pocket and big investment dreams. Earning his stripes first with a Ph.D. in Finance at the age of 24, he built a successful career as an investment consultant. A decade later, he gave up the comfort of his career to follow his passion and started High Pointe Capital.

He retired in 2022 to focus on his health and then started on a new path as a writer in 2023.
