2020 US Amateur Championship, Gupta is currently in the final year at OSU and plans to turn professional towards the middle of next year.
Speaking to IANS, Gupta said: "I had not known until recently that I was eligible to represent India.
It was something I always wanted to do.
I love the US and hope to be able to represent them one day as well, but my roots are in India and I would be disappointed if I never got the chance to represent the country that means so much to my family".
Gupta said the sensational run by Aditi Ashok at the Tokyo Olympics, and the reaction it evoked in India, also played a role in his decision.
