Arghya Dutta

Founder & Creative Director,

Desun Technology Pvt. Ltd.

From a young age, Arghya Dutta harboured a deep aversion to the traditional 9-to-5 work routine, which fuelled his desire to create something extraordinary. This mindset was pivotal in shaping his entrepreneurial journey. While still in engineering college, Arghya met Santanu Samanta, and together they embarked on a freelancing venture, driven by a shared vision of innovation and empowerment. This collaboration laid the foundation for Desun Technology Pvt. Ltd., which was officially founded in 2014. As a serial entrepreneur, Arghya has continually pushed boundaries, building multiple successful ventures, including Desun Technology, Virtual Pathshala, Aahare Mon Restaurants, and Desun Academy. Desun Technology, under his leadership, specialises in creating tailored digital solutions that address unique client needs, such as those in the LPG sector, where technical reliability and user experience are critical. Arghya’s approach combines a growthoriented vision with a strong philanthropic mindset. He believes in giving back to society and empowering others, which is integral to his business philosophy. This commitment to social impact is reflected in his efforts to generate job opportunities and support emerging talent through his various ventures. His journey, marked by resilience and creativity, showcases the power of challenging conventional norms and pursuing one’s dreams. Arghya’s story is a compelling example of how vision and determination can lead to impactful entrepreneurship. In his conversation with TradeFlock, Arghya discusses his diverse ventures, the principles guiding his work, and his future plans for continued innovation and societal contribution.

Recent regulatory changes in India’s real estate sector are enhancing transparency and adopting a customer-centric approach, which is improving trust among investors, developers, and aggregators.
