Guide to Root Karbonn A7+:

1. Download this rooting kit from mediafire. It's nearly 1 megabyte in size.
2. Unzip the above file using suitable utility on either your PC or the phone itself.
3. Inside the extracted folder, you will find two zip files: Root.zip is for rooting your device while Unroot.zip file is for unrooting it (duh).
4. Transfer the Root.zip file to your sdcard.
5. Power off your device.
6. Once it is switched off, press Power + Volume Up button simultaneously until a red screen appears.
7. Using volume up and down keys on your mobile, scroll to the option named "Apply update from sdcard".
8. Browse through folders to select the root.zip file you copied in step 4.
9. The stock recovery (that's what the red screen is actually called) will flash the root.zip on your device.
10. After the process completes, select Reboot Now to reboot into a rooted phone.

Now you can enjoy all the perks of rooting I've mentioned above. This guide was written by sinnerz2000 on xda forums. Your comments and problems are welcomed both here and in the xda thread too.
