“Umang is an outstanding leader who can take a group from chaos to calm,” he said.

Umang Gupta was born on August 3, 1949, in Patiala, in the northern Indian state of Punjab, to Ved Prakash Gupta, who used to work at the Indian Ministry of Labor, and Ramnika Gupta, a politician. Umang’s parents were socialists from different walks of life who met at the funeral of Mohandas Gandhi, a departure from a traditional arranged marriage.

The couple later separated, and Umang was raised with the help of her grandparents.

He spent four years at the military boarding school and was expected to join the National Defense Academy, a tradition in his mother’s family. He chose IIT Kanpur instead, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering in 1971. The campus had some of the first IBM computers in India, and Mr. Gupta also gained programming skills there. .
