Long biography — 155 words

Abhay Gupta is Founder and Chairman of Luxury Connect Pvt Ltd and of Luxury Connect Business School, which he established in 2012 as India’s first specialised luxury business school. Through LCBS he created India’s first and only specialised MBA in Luxury Brand Management, conferred through a UGC-recognised university partner.

He has worked inside Indian luxury, fashion and retail since 1990 — more than three decades spent building the market rather than observing it. He came to it from an earlier career at sea, where he served as a Chief Engineer in the merchant navy.

His academic work has been published at the LVMH–SMU Luxury Research Conference in 2016 and 2018. He writes the newsletter Luxury Cruxx, publishes the Luxury Connect Intelligence research series, and has built a body of named frameworks for reading luxury in India. He is the author of The Incredible Indian Luxury Bazaar, published under the pen name Abhaya Gupta.

He was named Indian Luxury Retail Icon by the Asia Retail Congress in 2012, and has been listed among Indian Luxury’s Most Influential for six consecutive years.
