Mayur Gupta

In 2020, Mayur spearheaded an LGBT+ youth business mentoring program connecting 18-25 year old LGBT+ young people with LGBT+ business mentors and allies at top companies such as Snapchat, Microsoft, Pearson, Vodafone and GoCardless. So far Mayur worked with 30 young people from Stonewall Housing and PinkNews Futures and connected them with 30 business mentors. Mayur also led a partnership between Career Accelerator and Spark Inclusion, an LGBT+ consultancy, to integrate LGBT+ inclusion to the business’ career education assemblies, workshops, and mentoring sessions in order to provide relatable LGBT+ role models and support to students at state schools. Outside of his organization, Mayur has spoken at PinkNews Futures on two occasions about the importance of LGBT+ inclusion and working in the tech world to 100 young people in person and virtually, while also writing about the importance of LGBT+ inclusive career support in schools for DiversityEd.
