Prashant Gupta’s first book was recognised among the top 50 influential authors in 2023. Prashant Gupta, a GOPIO Life Member, has a 25-year career in internet technology with innovations in the Motorola Razr cellphone, a decade in building the Microsoft Azure cloud, and his recent endeavours on the secure-first Co-pilot with passkeys and personalisation foundations.

Upon his return to India, Gupta introduced the Digital India solution stack, tackling issues ranging from school dropouts to employability for retired soldiers, climate-smart agriculture for smallholder farmers, and preventive health screening in rural areas. His work touched more than 10 million people from marginalised communities and was cited by the Government of India, the US, and the United Nations.

Beyond his technology career, PG has advised state governments in India on development policy and collaborated with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and GIZ (German Federal Ministry). Devoted to a philosophy of collective well-being, PG co-founded the Microsoft Accelerator for Start-ups and built health consortia in cardiology, eyecare and pathology with partners in the US, Europe and Asia. One notable contribution is creating India's first AI-based Cardiovascular Risk Score in partnership with Apollo Hospitals, Maastricht, AIIMS, and KGMU. It was recently published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) and saved lives. A Kellogg alum, PG has received several Industry recognitions, patents and awards. His 108-interfaith pilgrimage culminated in the launch of his memoir, "The Flow of My Life," during the World Book Fair, commemorating India's 75th independence and featured a foreword by Dr. Tapti Roy, a historian from Cambridge, England. In 2023, Gupta was acknowledged as one of the top 50 influential authors, a testament to the impact of his memoir, which has touched hearts across countries with its profound words of hope and peace.
