He was named a 2025 Global Shaper by the World Economic Forum, was a Forbes 2023 Global Summit Recipient,an angel investor, and board advisor to multiple companies, including VivaMed, a $250M biotech firm, and LONCH, a next-gen creator monetization platform. He was the founder of ImmerseGT, the world’s largest virtual reality hackathon, and has been featured in Yahoo News, Vogue, Berkshire Hathaway, and New York Weekly for his work across innovation, education, and culture.
Despite being recognized by major institutions, Gokul’s methods are far from conventional. At 19, he received three job offers from just two applications, built a network that granted him direct meetings with $100B+ CEOs, and filed patents for groundbreaking technology in identity and transaction systems.
Gokul studied economics and computer engineering at UC San Diego before going on to study management and strategy at Harvard. His current research at Harvard Business School involes impression management and behavior of entrepreneurs.
Through Project Zeus, Gokul works directly with select students, operators, and founders to accelerate their paths into top schools, roles, and ventures — but more importantly, into lives they’ve intentionally architected. His work sits at the intersection of influence, access, and long-term compounding.
This isn’t traditional coaching. It’s infrastructure for an unfair advantage.
