Prof. Gupta’s stellar eminence in national and international platforms is highlighted by the positions of responsibilities he has held in premier scientific/engineering bodies and societies. He has been President of the Indian Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics, the Indian Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, and the Indian Society of Mechanical Engineers. He was Vice President of the Indian National Science Academy and Chairman of its National Committee for IUTAM (International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics) and IMU (International Mathematics Union).

He brought honour to the country, when he was elected as member of the IUTAM Bureau (2008-12) and also its Congress Committee (2008-16) (see Tribute from President IUTAM) and three member international committee for the “Solid Mechanics” division of  the International Council of Industrial and Applied Mathematics world Congress (2009).

Additionally, he was member/chairman of several other national and international academic bodies. He has been council member of national institutions like the Indian Statistical Institute, Indian National Academies, Indian National Science Congress Association, Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi and many other institutes. He is Hon. Member of the World Innovation Foundation.

It was a great honour for the country, when International Society of Impact Engineering invited him as one of the 5 Honorary Members selected over the globe saying that-- this honorary membership contributes to recognize your fundamental contribution to our field.

He has been visiting Professor / fellow / invited to deliver guest lectures in universities in Armenia, Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Malaysia, Norway, Poland, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, , Thailand, Trinidad, Turkey, UAE, UK, and USA. He has been serving on the Editorial Advisory Boards of International Journals of Mechanical Sciences, Int. J. of Impact Engineering, Int. J. of Crashworthiness, L. A. Int. J. of Solids and Structures, Thin Walled Structures, J. fatigue and fracture of Engg. Mat. and Str., Journal of Aeronautics Society of India, Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy, Sadhna, Everyman’s Science and Defence Science Journal.

In last 10 years some of the prestigious lectures he has delivered are:

1. It was an honour for him and the Indian science when invited to deliver a keynote lecture at the world congress of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (2008) held at Adelaide, Australia.
2. German National Academy of Sciences, Leopoldina, arranges lecture on a subject to be delivered by two highly known scientists one German and one invited from any foreign country (at times Nobel Laureates). Prof Gupta brought honour to the country when he was invited to speak on one such event in 2012 and the German Scientist invited was Prof. M. Kleiner, who was then the President of DFG. See below.
