ARJUN
GUPTA.

HeartStart Generation began when Arjun Gupta (14) lost his grandfather and young uncle to sudden cardiac death. His experience showed how a lack of CPR knowledge can turn a survivable event into tragedy.

He founded HeartStart Generation to promote CPR training and heart health education. Age is no barrier to impact — the next generation can and must be equipped to save lives.
