== Biography ==
Dr Gupta was born on February 8, 1969, in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India, to a doctor couple who served as medical officers in the Indian Railways. He spent much of his childhood in [[Tundla]], a semi-urban/rural location in Uttar Pradesh, where he studied in a convent school, the Christ The King School (now Christ The King Inter College). Eldest of four siblings, he demonstrated academic excellence from his childhood, standing first in his entire class in his 10th standard Indian Certificate of Secondary Education examination at the [[St. Peter's College, Agra|St Peters College]], Agra and in the 12th Standard Central Board of Secondary Education examination at the [[Modern School (New Delhi)|Modern School]] (Barakhamba Road), New Delhi.

He was selected for the MBBS course at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in 1986, which he completed in 1991. He went on to pursue and complete an MD in Internal Medicine in 1994 and a DM (Doctor of Medicine) in Medical Oncology in 2000 from AIIMS, New Delhi.<ref>{{cite web |title=DM Alumini |url=https://aiims.edu/index.php/en/medical_oncology_alumini/2017-07-18-05-17-50 |website=AIIMS NEW |language=en-gb}}</ref> His mother, herself a gynaecologist and an alumnus of the [[King George's Medical University|King George’s Medical College]], Lucknow, developed advanced-stage ovarian cancer when Dr Gupta was in the final year of his medical school in 1990. She was treated at AIIMS, Delhi, went into remission, suffered a relapse when he was in the final year of MD Medicine and then suffered repeated exacerbations of the cancer, until she died in 1999 because of [[Brain metastasis|brain metastases]].
