He did several assignments with Citibank India, eventually being Chief of Staff to the India head, responsible for Finance, Technology, Human Resources and Strategy.

Gupta held positions of increasing responsibilities, moving into various senior management roles across Citi’s corporate and consumer banking businesses, including Head of Strategic Planning for Emerging Markets and Regional Director for Global Transaction Services for Asia Pacific, before being posted to Indonesia in 1998, as Citi’s country manager. In 2000, he left Citigroup to start up a dot-com company, an internet portal called GO4i.com but closed his venture and re-joined Citigroup in 2001. Gupta served as country officer in Malaysia from 2002-2007, where he helped built up Citigroup’s branch network, before assuming the role of country officer in Singapore and the head of the Corporate and Investment Bank in ASEAN.
