Career

After graduating from the Indian Institute of Technology, Gupta started his career with Zensar Technologies, an information technology, and infrastructure services company, in 1984.[3][4]

In 1993, he moved to England to expand the company's reach across Central and Eastern Europe, the UK, and the Nordics.[5] 

In 2001, Gupta moved to Chicago, IL to head Zensar's Global Outsourcing Services business, providing Application Portfolio Management (APM) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services to global customers. Following his stint in the US, Gupta returned to India in 2009 as Zensar's Chief Operating Officer.

In November 2010, Zensar announced its acquisition of the US IT firm, Akibia Inc,[6] and appointed Gupta as its Executive Chairman.[7][8][9] Gupta was credited for the integration between the two diverse company cultures.[5] As a part of his new role, he contributed to scaling the IMS (Infrastructure Management Services) business.[5][8][10] Under his leadership, Zensar witnessed a company-wide growth since the acquisition was first announced, with 8,000 employees across 20 different locations worldwide. The company was also valued at $500 million in 2015.[11]

In 2014, Gupta led a partnership between Zensar and the Harvard School of Business.[12]

Zensar Technologies is a wholly owned subsidiary of the RPG Group.[13]

In March 2016, Gupta joined Mastech, as its president, CEO, and member of the board.[14]

Later in July 2017, Gupta led Mastech Digital's acquisition of InfoTrellis, a Canada-based data management and analytics services company.[15][16] The deal was valued at $55 million.[17] This venture strengthened the company's focus on digital transformation services.[18]

At the same time, he also announced the company's intention to acquire more firms in line with its vision to become a digital technologies company.[20]
