About Dr. Satya Mitra

Dr. Satya Mitra grew up with challenges, under the burden of poverty and extremely difficult conditions during his childhood. The youngest of three children, he was born 12 years after his older brother and 9 years after his older sister. His mother passed away when he was only three and a half years old. There were days and nights he spent as homeless with his father who became ill and ultimately became blind, but there were several people who supported him along the way, and encouraged his dream of earning an education.

At many points along his journey, he felt a divine influence arranging his steps. Ever since childhood, Satya vowed that someday, given the opportunity and the blessings of the almighty, he would dedicate his life to helping people and giving them hope, thereby fulfilling the purpose of his life.

Dr. Mitra finished his Ph.D. in Biochemistry in India and came to the USA in 1976 to pursue his career in Bio-medical research. But with the spiritual guidance of his family priest, or Guru, Dr. Mitra instead began a career as a tax consultant, financial planner and investment advisor. In 1990, he established his own tax consultancy and financial planning practice. Today, he is the President and CEO of “The Guru Tax & Financial Services, Inc.” located in Worcester, MA. Starting from ground zero in his basement, his practice now occupies a professional office with employees in Worcester, and serves over 500 clients in 26 different states across the USA and in many countries internationally.

In the last 27 years he has not only built a successful and reputable business; he has used his success to help his community in various ways. Dr. Mitra strongly believes that every one of us is here not only to care for ourselves, but to be there for others as well. He feels that business owners must dedicate themselves to serving the communities where they have enjoyed their success.

We are all born with two packages of responsibilities in our fists, one is the responsibility towards our children and family and the other is the responsibility towards someoene else; life’s success is accomplished when we deliver both the packages. Let’s not lose or neglect those packages but deliver them. The true essence of life is touching another life.
