Gopakumar, both from Kolkata. His family is from Kerala, a southern Indian state. He was ranked 1 in the 1987 entrance exam for the Indian Institute of Technology.

In 2009, he was awarded the Shanti Swarun Bhatnagar Prize.

Gopakumar is a string theorist. Early in his career, his research was primarily focused on large N gauge theories with David Gross, noncommutative gauge theories with Andrew Strominger and Shiraz Minwalla, and topological string theory and gauge/geometry correspondence with Cumrun Vafa and is particularly known for proposing the Gopakumar–Vafa duality and Gopakumar–Vafa invariants. Later, his work focussed on attempts to derive the AdS/CFT correspondence, and on minimal model holography (with Matthias Gaberdiel). In recent years, he has made important contributions to higher spin theories and their connections with string theory (with Matthias Gaberdiel). He has also recently worked on the Conformal bootstrap.

Gopakumar received the 2004 B.M. Birla Science Prize for Physics.
