His father and mother moved from India to Michigan to work as engineers at the Ford Dearborn Plant in the 1960s.
In 2003, Gupta traveled to Iraq to cover the medical aspects of 2003 invasion of Iraq. While in Iraq, Gupta performed emergency surgery on both U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians. Gupta was embedded with a Marine medical unit at the time. A Marine named Jesus Vidana suffered a severe head injury and the Marines asked for Gupta's assistance because of his background in neurosurgery. Vidana survived and was sent back to the United States for rehabilitation. Gupta was named one of the Sexiest Men of 2003 by People magazine.
In December of 2006, CBS News President Sean McManus negotiated a deal with CNN that will have Gupta file up to 10 reports a year for "The Evening News With Katie Couric" and "60 minutes" while remaining CNN’s chief medical correspondent and associate chief of neurosurgery at Grady Memorial Hospital.

He has also published on brain tumors and spinal cord abnormalities .
Battlefield Controversy
While in Iraq, Dr Gupta was asked to perform brain surgery on five different patients, including Jesus Vidana, a Marine who had been twice pronounced dead on the battlefield. Jesus survived the injuries and now lives in Southern California. Gupta was criticized upon his return and many, including Bob Steele of the Poynter Institute thought Gupta crossed the line when donning his journalism cap for a surgeon's cap. Gupta was quoted in Newsweek magazine as saying "medically and morally, it was the right thing to do."
