Kamal Gupta earned an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi -- entering the elite institution after only completing eleventh grade -- and received a master's in computer science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in just 11 months. Bored in the tech world, he turned himself into a professional blackjack player. An unexpected turn of events brought him to Wall Street, where for over two decades he beat the odds in every imaginable way. Gupta lives in the greater New York City area with his family.
