Dharmpal Chaudhary

Dharmpal Chaudhary is a technology entrepreneur and engineering leader with more than nine years of experience across AI, Generative AI, SaaS, cloud and software engineering.

He has written books exploring how evidence can be used to approach large decisions rather than relying solely on conviction, including a previous work examining the Bhagavad Gita as a decision-making text.

Dharmpal founded Upcred.ai, where he served as Founder, CEO and CTO. He currently leads engineering teams for a company of more than a thousand people across three time zones and has built products at Impact Analytics, Plivo, Yellow.ai, WorkIndia, AirAsia Tech and Travelyaari.

His approach to this book comes from a professional habit developed through years of engineering and entrepreneurship: checking whether a claim is true before acting on it. It also comes from personal experience with the very problem explored in this book—the tendency to keep thinking long after thinking has stopped being useful.

Together, Pushpa and Dharmpal bring complementary perspectives from technology, analytical thinking, decision-making and lived experience to their exploration of the Bhagavad Gita and the modern problem of overthinking.
