Rohit Gupta

CEO & Operating Partner, Aretum

Aretum’s private equity company, Renovus, put together three diverse companies with complementary skills, and it’s been fun getting everyone moving in the same direction, said Rohit Gupta.

“Building our unified culture and values where our employees feel valued, and can use the full complement of our expertise to meet the mission of the company, and that of our federal customers has taken time, and it’s been worth the hard work to get there,” he said. “We are now OneAretum, with a unified set of goals, vision and values, and on the path to growing to our $500M goal.”

Why Watch

In 2025, Gupta and his team are focused on bringing technological advancements to all sorts of government projects to achieve efficiency and cut wasteful cycles. This involves using modern software development combined with data intelligence and machine learning to bring digital transformation, and doing what the government does more efficiently, with faster time to market, and cost savings in the long run.

Aretum has been pursuing a multiyear modernization effort at the Defense Department and the U.S. Copyright Office to help achieve mission goals.

“Do your work with honesty and integrity. Focus on doing the right thing no matter what. Treat people with respect,” Gupta said.

Aretum Board Chairman Vaikunth Gupta said:

“In a short period of time, Rohit has taken the helm at Aretum, and implemented a vision for where the company needs to go in the Government Services sector. He has built an excellent executive leadership team that is talented and focused, and connected with a common set of goals. Aretum is poised to make the leap from a leading mid-sized company to something bigger.”

Fun fact: Gupta once architected a foreign exchange trading system product for a client in Ireland that processed $1 trillion of Forex transactions a year.
