After his presentation, he responded to questions ranging from India's infrastructure to population concerns and global warming.
His conclusion was simple: India needs more investments and is a good place to invest.
"India's not where I'd want to do business, but it does look like a pretty good investment for some companies," said Jeffrey Leung, a senior business management information systems major.
Surmi Chatterj, a 2007 computer engineering graduate who is originally from India and whose father currently owns a small business there, said she would definitely return if she had the opportunity.
"Even during this economic downturn, India is still prospering and that's really positive," she said.
Akash Ayare, a senior computer engineering major who identified himself as an entrepreneur, said he would also consider working in India, particularly in light of ongoing corporate globalization.
"In my understanding of it, in the next 10 to 20 years, it will just be global companies," he said. "They won't be localized to one country or region."
Gupta remained positive throughout the night and ended with the message: "Everybody can do it. Everybody at San Jose State has more capability than they need. I tell that to everybody - you can do it."
