Anup Kumar Gupta has been associated with GLA since its inception in 1998 and has been decisively instrumental in the establishment of the University in 2010, and thereafter in the successful introduction of so many new courses and degree programs at regular intervals.
Having completed his M.A., M.Phil. and Ph.D in English, and MBA, Dr. Gupta did his Executive MBA from IIT Bombay in 2012. He was the overall topper of the Batch. His keen interest as educator took him to Michigan State University, USA to earn graduate degree in Higher Education Administration. Six students have done their Ph. D under his guidance.
