Rohit Gupta

CEO,  Aretum

Rohit Gupta’s biggest recent achievement was guiding Aretum through growth while maintaining disciplined execution across federal missions. That includes expanding the company’s capabilities through strategic acquisitions and positioning Aretum for long-term impact across defense, civilian and national security customers. Looking ahead, Gupta is focused on scaling responsibly while delivering measurable outcomes for government stakeholders.

Aretum aligns closely with the administration’s priorities by helping agencies do more with less through smarter use of technology and data. The company focuses on eliminating redundancies, modernizing legacy systems and applications that are costly to maintain and streamlining processes to be more user-centric so agencies can improve outcomes while reducing operational burden. Aretum teams partner closely with government customers to deliver practical, scalable and secure solutions that increase efficiency and accountability.

“Rohit has implemented a vision for where the company needs to go in the government services sector,” said Vaikunth Gupta, chairman of Aretum’s board. “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.”

Why Watch

In 2026, Gupta and his team are focused on helping federal agencies modernize faster and operate more efficiently by leveraging data, automation and digital engineering to reduce cost and strengthen mission readiness. Aretum is committed to turning innovation into an operational advantage. That work is driven by Aretum Labs, the company’s in-house research and development hub, where teams build mission-ready tools that support operational decision-making through AI, natural language processing and predictive analytics.

“At Aretum, our success is driven by the talent of our people and a relentless focus on mission outcomes,” he said. “We are building a company that delivers innovation with purpose and helps government leaders operate more effectively in an increasingly complex environment.”

Fun fact: Gupta is deeply passionate about mentoring emerging leaders and believes leadership is about creating opportunities and helping others succeed. He also architected a trading system over 25 years ago that traded more than $1 trillion in foreign exchange annually.
