Pradeep Gupta is a pioneer in the true sense of the word. An Electrical Engineer from I.I.T., Delhi, and an alumni of the Indian Institute of Management (Calcutta), Pradeep is an entrepreneur with varied business interests in the field of Information Technology.

As early as in 1982, he launched Cyber Media (India) Ltd., when he computer industry was very small and in its nascent stages. Today, his businesses include publishing of leading computer magazines in India and abroad, I.T. Portals, Marketing Research, I.T. Exhibitions and Seminars, T.V. Programmes and CD-ROM distribution and publishing.

Another pioneering effort for Pradeep has been the launching of the I.T. campaign in collaboration with N.C.P.E.D.P. to sensitise the I.T. industry towards the issue of better employment opportunities for disabled people. The specific objectives of this campaign are to bring together the corporate I.T. sector, NGOs and the Government, to create a platform to facilitate exchange of ideas to not only promote employment opportunities but also, catalyse the use of information technology as an empowerment tool for people with disabilities.

As part of this campaign, the first roundtable was held in Delhi, where Pradeep was successful in bringing together 19 C.E.O.s of leading I.T. companies, the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi and the I.T. Principal Secretary to brainstorm about ways to enhance the fruitation of the above mentioned objectives.
