Early life
Gupta was born in Delhi to an engineer father and a homemaker mother.[4][5] He completed his schooling from a government school and graduated in engineering from Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida. Engineering, as a field of education, did not interest him, but he pursued it to fulfill his parents' wish.[5]

His most applauded act is Appurview - Laugh with an Engineer which describes life from the point-of-view of an engineer.[8][9][10] Gupta's comedy is based on self-deprecating humour, evident from various ‘baniya’ jokes with none on ‘Sardar’.[11] He started a web series, "Mudde Ki baat", which covered topics such as start ups in India, cricket, Bollywood, and Chetan Bhagat.[12]
In 2023, he starred in the film "Afwaah". In interviews, Gupta said he was glad not to be typecast as a comedian in the film.[13][14][15] After the release of "Afwaah", Gupta commented that he is very careful not to spread information that he cannot verify through an official source.[16]

Gupta was ranked second in "Top 20 Indian stand-up comedian in 2014" by CNN-IBN,[1] and was included in the Forbes India 100 Celebrity nominees list of 2015 by Forbes India.[17]

In 2018, he gave a TEDx Talk, the theme of which was "don't follow your passion, let the passion follow you".[20] The video has not yet been translated into English.[21]
