S urjit Kumar Gupta is an Indian entrepreneur and the chairman of Amber Enterprises, one of India's largest contract manufacturers of air conditioners and their components. While his sons, Jasbir and Daljit Gupta, run the day-to-day operations of the company as CEO and Managing Director, respectively, he is the patriarch and chairman of the family-controlled business.
Amber Enterprises operates as a major original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and original design manufacturer (ODM) for a host of leading international and domestic air conditioner brands that are sold in India. The company has grown rapidly, fueled by the rising demand for air conditioning from India's burgeoning middle class and the country's hot climate. The family's wealth is derived from their controlling stake in the publicly traded company, which has become a key player in India's consumer durables manufacturing ecosystem.
