Being named amongst Canada’s Top 40 Under 40 in 2017, 33-year-old Reetu Gupta has reached astonishing heights. Born in Toronto to hotel and real estate mogul Dr. Steve Gupta, she was immersed into the hospitality and real estate industry at a young age.

Focused on following in her father’s footsteps, Gupta obtained her BBA in marketing at the University of Toronto and joined the company as director of sales and marketing for the Easton Group’s of Hotels. She streamlined the sales and marketing processes in order to increase revenue and led the company through the recession with the opening of three new hotels, leading to her promotion as vice president of sales and marketing. Following her MBA, she became executive director and launched The Gupta Group, the real estate division of the company. Soon after, she was named chief operating officer for The Easton’s Group of Hotels and The Gupta Group.

From there, Gupta was responsible for the success of various high-level Toronto developments including the King Blue Condos development, Rosedale on Bloor, Dundas Square Gardens, ICONA Condos in Vaughan and Yonge Park Plaza.

Gupta actively contributes to the hospitality and real estate industry, as well as her local communities and charities. She is a board member and committee member of countless organizations, including the Ted Rogers School of Management and Hospitality Board, Hotelier magazine’s Women in Tourism and Hospitality Conference and co-chair to the City of Toronto sesquicentennial Celebration of Canada Advisory Committee, to name a few.

The Gupta Group has received numerous awards including National Gold Awards for Best Architecture Design of an Attached Community High Rise for Dundas Square Gardens in January 2015, IHG Quality Excellence Awards for Staybridge Suites Guelph in 2017, Marriott Outstanding Contribution to the System Award in 2017 and the Hilton Hotel and Resorts Developer of the Year in 2016.

Gupta is currently diving into her second passion — fashion — by creating Maya, an Indian fashion line cut to western designs. She is also busy with her newest 2017 development, ICONA Condos in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, where their three towers sold out in less than one month.
