Edmonton builder named Entrepreneur of the Year
October 30, 2014
Rohit Group of Companiesfounder and CEO, Radhe Gupta, was recently awarded Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award in the Real Estate and Construction category for the Prairies Region.
For Gupta, winning the Entrepreneur of the Year award all began in the early 1980s with the construction of one single-family home in Edmonton. (Pictured above: Rohit Communities' Heathrow showhome at Evolve Starling, now selling in North Edmonton.) From that very first project, Gupta’s core values of quality, innovation and perseverance became the foundation for a business that would grow from building homes into a diversified organization with complementary interests in residential and land development, commercial assets and real estate lending.
Early on, Gupta quickly realized the need to develop strong relationships with his partners and built the company to serve all its stakeholders – customers, employees, suppliers and financial partners. It is that kind of attitude that has brought Edmonton-based Rohit Group of Companies so much success over the past 25 years.
“It is an honour to be recognized for this prestigious award among such innovative leaders,” says Gupta, “I would like to thank my family and the Rohit team for their support and dedication to our vision. Our diverse and dynamic team keeps me young and we are poised to do great things moving forward.”
