Her parents are West Indian cricketer Viv Richards and Indian actress Neena Gupta. Gupta grew up in Mumbai. At the age of 8, she wanted to become a tennis player but she dropped the idea after the age of 16. She was passionate about dance and music.

She named her first collection Kattran (English:miniature bits of fabric). Her LFW 2014 collection "Wanderess," was, quote, "inspired by novelist Roman Payne’s doe-eyed gypsy girl character, Saskia" in his novel, The Wanderess.
Masaba is a budding fashion designer and her flamboyant style can be defined as a blend of contemporary and traditional with modernity taking the upper hand and her style is actually bold and creative in nature. She specializes in ethnic wear for women and her choice of fabric material, colors and prints is inspiring to the core.

Her prints are really unique in nature and the creative motifs are inspiring that truly represents her style of designing fashion clothing for women. Masaba Gupta is known for her beautiful prints and motifs that are eye-catching to the core and this makes her fashion taste different from other designers who specialize in diverse arenas.
