Gupta joined Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in 1998 and set up liver transplantation operations there along with Dr. Shantanu Nundy. The department conducted the first liver transplant in 2001, using a deceased donor liver. Along with Nundy, he began performing live donor transplants as the predominant form of liver transplantation. The liver transplantation program completed 66 transplants in 2006.

Gupta completed his undergraduate degree and master's in General surgery from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. In 1989 he specialized in surgical gastroenterology. In 1993, he moved to England to work and train under Dr. Paul McMaster in the liver unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.

During his stay in the UK Gupta qualified for Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and of Glasgow. He has published extensively on different aspects of living donor liver transplantation, such as liver transplantation without hepatitis B immunoglobulin prophylaxis and appropriate cytomegalovirus prophylaxis.

He is an Associate Professor in Surgery at the University of Queensland, Australia. The Institute of Postgraduate Education and Medical Research in Kolkata made him Professor of Liver Transplantation. He delivered the annual oration at the JIPMER Scientific Society in Puducherry in 2011 and was a recipient of a Gold Medal by the Delhi Medical Association in 2005. He is also on the Board of Management of Mahatma Gandhi Medical College, Mumbai, as a central government nominee.
