While he was receiving his graduation level education from Ramlal Anand College Delhi University at South Campus, he joined his family business, which involved the manufacture of LPG stoves and their distribution and marketing in Delhi NCR. According to Shri Gupta, he had always aspired to be involved in business since his early childhood when he was doing his schooling at Hansraj Model School. Despite being in college, Shri Gupta managed both his graduation level education and business pretty well.

Marriage: It was in the year 1988 when Shri Rajesh Gupta was married to Ms Manju Gupta-a woman of great dignity and filled with abundant love and affection for the weaker sections of the society.

Daughter of Late Shrimati Leelavati Devi and Shri Harikishan Gupta, Shrimati Manju Gupta is the sister of Shri Satish Gupta, a well-known name in the property business.

Path Ahead: Shri Rajesh Gupta carried on his LPG stove business from the year 1983 to 1990. After that he joined his father in the publication field as work at NNS had expanded rapidly by then. It was in the year 1990 when he became the Editor of the popular Hindi Daily Meri Delhi. “My career in the field of journalism was not an easy one as I had to cope up with all the aspects of newspaper publication and news agency works. Be it collection of news, presentation, designing or printing, I had to learn all the intricacies involved,” says Shri Gupta. Meri Delhi newspaper which started off as a fortnightly, due to the tiring efforts of Shri Gupta, soon transformed into a weekly and later as one of the leading local dailies of New Delhi. “Though, initially I was a bit hesitant, but soon I started enjoying the environs of newspaper publication. It’s really very challenging but also very satisfying,” avers Shri Rajesh Gupta. Besides being the Editor of Meri Delhi and Vaish Sansar bilingual Hindi-English monthly, Shri Gupta is also the Managing Editor of Hindi business daily Vyapar Kesari and Business Star. With the rapid advancements made in the ICE (Information, Communication & Management) sector, Shri Gupta, in tune with the trend, infused new technologies and upgraded the publication process suitably in tandem with the contemporary trend.

Shri Gupta says: “I’m also thinking about launching MERI DELHI PARIVAAR-a platform for millions of families spread across India and abroad just like the Vaish Sansar family. This platform will help create special bonding among members of different families. Besides strengthening social networking, the platform will play pivotal role in creation of new avenues of business growth, forging matrimonial alliances, strengthening social harmony, societal development and above all infusing a feeling of togetherness.”

Despite running a large family she always maintained a harmony among family members owing to her great organizational skills.”

Shri Gupta says his self confidence and zeal to work are greatly inspired from his dear grandfather Late Shri Nekiram Gupta. “Though my grandfather was not proficient in English language, yet it never became a hindrance to his path of progress. His encouraging works and tremendous dedication to the profession will always remain as Guiding Principles for us,” expresses Shri Gupta with gratitude.

About Journalism: According to Shri Gupta journalism is a noble profession. It makes people aware about the polity, economy and society of the country. As the 4^th pillar of the society it keeps a constant watch on inadequacies of the govt and also helps in molding peoples’ opinion, However, one should always be restrained in expressing his views and know his responsibility well as whatever is written or transmitted impacts the common people.

My Thought: I’ve always believed work as the worship to God. Moreover, providing employment to the needy always fills you with great satisfaction. Earning wealth shouldn’t be the only motive as sharing it gives you more fulfillment & pride.
