Educator
“Grit, grace and poise—these are three pillars for any student to succeed.” As the director of Rau’s IAS Study circle, he has honed several students to appear in one of India’s most competitive exams—the civil services exam. He believes that the ultimate goal of education is not just to impart knowledge, but inculcate moral values like honesty, hard work and perseverance. Perhaps that’s why Rau’s is one of the most sought-after institutions in its field.”

Patron of music and Art Connoisseur
“Music is not an industry. A musician is just like a faqir; don’t turn them into contractors of this art form.” VP Gupta’s mother and grandmother, unwittingly, performed soulful Hindustani classical music publicly, which struck a chord with him. He found his body and soul healing, as each note and beat passed through him. Once he felt the healing powers of music, he decided to share this experience with the world by organizing a baithak of like-minded music lovers through Bazm-e-Khas.

Entrepreneur
His mantra is clear: “We are not merchants of dreams.” Whether it’s about admitting students into his study circle or hosting music aficionados in his baithaks, he doesn’t believe in being driven solely by money. Rather than saying, “how much can I earn from this?”, he believes in asking, “how much value will this add to people’s lives”. That’s the recipe to his successful entrepreneurial ventures.”
