Who I Am

A Journey of Purpose

From a small village in Andhra Pradesh to empowering families across America.

My Story

I grew up in a small village near Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh. A Mechanical Engineering graduate, I built a diverse career over 30+ years — starting in Storage Electronics, followed by 7 years in Business Development and Sales, then 15 years in the IT industry growing from developer to IT leader.

I joined Financial Services part-time in 2018 and transitioned to full-time entrepreneurship in 2022 — dedicating my expertise to developing financial solutions that empower families toward independence and security. I am also a proud member of the Forbes Finance Council (2025).

My family is my anchor. My wife and I are proud parents of two sons — our eldest is at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, and our younger son is in 11th grade. Together we love traveling (25+ US National Parks!), exploring cuisines, and giving back.

Entrepreneur in Financial Services

I recruit, mentor, and develop driven individuals to build their own practice in financial services.

Families — my lifetime mission

Many 1st generation immigrants and NRIs arrive in the US highly educated and capable — yet unaware of the nuances of the American financial system

There is a critical need for financial education and for trusted professionals who understand both cultures and can bridge that gap

To reach 1 million families, I need capable, motivated people to join this mission — the opportunity is too large for one person

Valid work authorization required — EAD, Green Card, or US Citizenship. Open-minded, focused individuals can start part-time or full-time

8,000+ families already impacted through financial literacy campaigns — together we can scale this to a movement

Build Your Own Practice

The US financial industry is full of opportunity — but for many immigrants and NRIs, it remains a black box. Tax laws, retirement accounts, insurance structures, and wealth-building tools work very differently here than in other countries. Most families don't know what they don't know.

That's where you come in. Whether you came from India, another country, or grew up here, if you're passionate about helping people and want to build something meaningful — this is your path. I will personally mentor and develop you to succeed in financial services.

My book, Financial Roadmap for NRIs in America, is already helping bridge this knowledge gap. By joining my team, you become part of the larger mission to reach 1 million families who deserve better financial futures.

A Financial Roadmap for NRIs in America

By Giri Lankipalle & Gopi Chandra

Written for the millions of Non-Resident Indians and first-generation immigrants navigating the US financial system, this book is a practical, plain-language guide to building wealth, protecting your family, and achieving financial independence in America.

Many NRIs arrive with strong educational backgrounds and income potential, yet remain unaware of the tax advantages, retirement vehicles, insurance structures, and estate strategies uniquely available in the US. This book demystifies all of it.

It is a core part of Giri's lifetime mission to reach 1 million families — and a resource he uses directly in his financial literacy campaigns nationwide. Grounded in the mission of "No Family Left Behind," this is the guide Giri wishes had existed when he first arrived in America.

The Spandana Foundation

Improving lives through education, healthcare, and sustainable living in India.

What We Do

As a founding member of the Spandana Foundation, I help improve thousands of underprivileged lives across India.

Support an orphanage, providing children a safe home and education

Operate a school to provide quality education to children in need

Aid old-age homes and support elder care

Annual scholarships in engineering, medicine, and other disciplines

Basic healthcare and sustainable living initiatives

Purpose Beyond Profit

My journey from a small village near Chittoor gives me a deep sense of responsibility to those who face the same obstacles I once did.

The Spandana Foundation is not just a nonprofit — it's a reflection of the belief that real success is measured by the lives you lift along the way.

In America, this same spirit drives my financial literacy campaigns — because no family, regardless of background, should face an uncertain financial future.
