With a career spanning over two decades, Dr. Gupta has not only transformed the educational paths of thousands but has also become a significant advocate for women’s empowerment.

A Visionary Path in Education Counselling

Dr. Gupta's journey into education counselling began in 1999, inspired by a passion to fill the gap in accessible, high-quality guidance for students aiming to study internationally. Through his organizations, Karan Gupta Consulting and the Karan Gupta Education Foundation (KGEF), he has personally guided over 50,000 students toward success in global education. His reach extends further, with KGEF providing primary education access to over 92,000 underprivileged students.

What truly sets Dr. Gupta apart is his holistic approach to education.

"The joy of watching students succeed is unmatched,” Dr. Gupta shares. “When they return with stories of growth and achievement, I know my work is making a real difference.” His extensive experience, dedication, and personal commitment have earned him a reputation as a trusted advisor in an often daunting journey.

Empowering Women: The “I Am Woman” Initiative

Through this platform, he aims to celebrate these achievements and inspire others.
