His appointment was approved by the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA). Gupta succeeds Rajeev Mehrishi (Retd IAS: 1978: RJ) at NSE IX, which operates from the GIFT City in Ahmedabad — envisioned as a global financial hub.

Gupta retired in 2018 as Secretary, Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM), and played a key role in shaping Union Budgets and implementing disinvestment and asset monetisation strategies. He also chaired the National Task Force for Promotion of Digital and Cashless Economy (2016–2018).

What is NSE IX?
