Biography
Sanjay Gupta is a Professor of Accounting and Information Systems. Most recently, he served as the Eli and Edythe L. Broad Dean, the 11th Dean of the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University from 2015 to 2022.During his tenure as dean, Professor Gupta led the Broad College to redefine itself through two comprehensive strategic plans, aligning with the university’s core values and guiding the college’s work to become a top-of-mind business school.Under Professor Gupta’s leadership, the college instituted multiple curricular and programmatic innovations, launched new academic programs, and initiated collaborative opportunities around research. Among the major accomplishments of his deanship are reimagining the core undergraduate curriculum around digital transformation, global mindset and ethical leadership; launching new graduate degree programs in healthcare management, data science and analytics, financial planning and wealth management, and customer experience management; enhancing the Broad student experience in all programs; and instituting major changes in organizational structure and leadership to elevate the faculty-staff role and impact on research, diversity-equity-inclusion, outreach and engagement, and career management. He was instrumental in creating and funding the Institute for Business Research to augment faculty participation and success in collaborative external grant funding, and the Center for Ethical and Socially Responsible Leadership to facilitate embedding ethics education in the curriculum, experiential learning and faculty research on business ethics. He also spearheaded the launch of university-wide minors in business and entrepreneurship and innovation which provide access to Broad’s business credentials to all undergraduate students in the university. During Professor Gupta’s leadership, the Broad College soared in global and national rankings – where undergraduate and graduate programs rank among the top 20 U.S. public programs in several major rankings.Professor Gupta played a pivotal role in MSU’s Empower Extraordinary capital campaign, raising $196 million over six years for the Broad College. The fundraising contributed to supporting key initiatives, including the design and completion of the $62 million state-of-the-art Edward J. Minskoff Pavilion that is the first academic building on campus to be fully funded by private support, generating endowment support for 18 named faculty, and adding $1.5 million in new scholarships for students.Prior to becoming dean, Dr. Gupta was the Russell E. Palmer Endowed Professor of Accounting, chair of the Department of Accounting and Information Systems and associate dean for MBA and professional master’s programs. As associate dean, Gupta instituted several curricular innovations focused around experiential learning, such as the immersive “BroadWeeks” (renamed “Extreme Green”) and a C-Suite Executive Lecture series, in the Full-Time MBA program. Average GMAT scores of entering students rose by 25 points during his tenure, average starting salaries increased to six-figures, and the MBA program improved its position in global and national rankings. He also led a task force to overhaul and merge the Weekend and Executive MBA programs and facilitated the launch of new master's programs in business analytics and management, strategy, and leadership.
Prior to MSU, he held leadership positions in the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University, including the first Henry & Horne Professorship in Accountancy, Dean’s Council of 100 Distinguished Scholars, and Faculty Director of the Master of Accountancy and Information Systems and the Master of Taxation programs.Professor Gupta is an award-winning teacher and scholar. He was recognized by the Broad College’s Executive MBA graduates with the Faculty Excellence Award, and by the Arizona Society of CPAs with the Accounting Education Innovation and the Outstanding Educator Awards for significant contributions to curricular and co-curricular innovation and development. His research on corporate and individual tax policy issues has been published in leading tax and accounting journals and cited in media, court cases, public policy forums, and has informed the White House’s Economic Council staff’s analysis of a tax policy proposal. His research has also been supported by multiple national-level competitive grants.Dr. Gupta has consulted for the Big Four public accounting firms, the U.S. government and Fortune 500 companies, and served as an expert witness for a state department of revenue. He currently serves as a director on the boards of for-profit and nonprofit organizations. His professional service at the national and international level includes engagement with the business school accrediting body AACSB on the Innovations Committee and the Accounting Accreditation Committee (AAC), and as an advisor and chair of business school accreditation teams for several prominent business schools nationally and internationally. His board service includes the International Advisory Board of the School of Economics & Management of Dalian University of Technology, the International Advisory Committee of Tongji University’s School of Economics & Management, and the University of Notre Dame Accounting Advisory Board.At MSU, he has served on the steering committee for the university’s 2030 Strategic Plan; COVID-19 Reopening Campus task force; advisory councils for the Executive Vice President of Administrative Services’ and the Associate Provost for Academic Human Resources; selection committee of the University Distinguished Professor title, MSU’s highest faculty honor; and on multiple search committees for MSU leadership roles, including the Provost, the CFO and the EVP for Development. He has also actively participated in several cross-college collaborations on teaching and learning, research, and outreach and engagement. His community service includes serving as an elected member of the Bharatiya Temple of Lansing’s Board of Trustees and of the MSU India Council’s Governing Board.Professor Gupta received his doctorate in business from Michigan State University, a master of accountancy from Bowling Green State University, a bachelor of laws from Calcutta University in India and a bachelor of commerce from the University of Mumbai.
