Entrepreneur Magazine is glad to present Archit Gupta, founder of Cleartax who made it to our 35 under 35 special.

ClearTax solves two key problems for a consumer namely tax filing and tax savings. In order to address the painful need to solve the tax payers' headache, this great software was created which was very easy to use. For businesses, the ClearTax platform helps businesses get incorporated, do their business and tax filings.

Sharing his lows from his journey Archit says, "Three years of bootstrapping was incredibly challenging. Maintaining cash flow to stay alive was painful on many days." ClearTax went on became the first Indian company to raise investments from PayPal co-founder, Max Levchin and Founders Fund.
