A Journey Born from Compassion
In the bustling town of Ambala City, Haryana, on February 25, 2000, a bright soul named Ridhi Gupta was born into a family that believed in kindness as a way of life. Her mother, Ms. Punam Gupta, a noted social worker and serial entrepreneur, and her late father, Mr. Aasheesh Gupta, a respected businessman, shaped her childhood with values of love, honesty, and service to others.
Growing up, Ridhi’s heart was drawn to those in need — the sick, the poor, the voiceless. Her early fascination with medicine wasn’t merely academic; it was emotional. She wanted to heal people, not just cure diseases.
“My mother taught me that compassion is the purest form of strength,” she says.
“And I’ve carried that lesson into every part of my life.”
Crossing Borders for Knowledge
Determined to serve humanity through science, Ridhi Gupta pursued her MBBS in China, a decision that would take her thousands of miles from home but closer to her dream.
The journey was anything but easy — new culture, new language, and a demanding academic environment. But instead of breaking her spirit, the experience built her resilience. She immersed herself in global healthcare practices, learning from diverse mentors and patients.
“China taught me that healing knows no language.
Care, respect, and empathy are understood everywhere.”
Her time abroad shaped her into a doctor who blends modern medical excellence with the timeless art of compassion.

Colleagues admire her balance of professionalism and warmth, describing her as “a doctor who treats the person, not just the illness.”
“Medicine is not just about prescriptions,” she says.
“It’s about presence — about making people feel seen and heard.”
