FOUNDER & Principal
Sid Gehlot
Sid Gehlot realized his love for entrepreneurship from the very start of his career. Over the course of years, he has founded and managed businesses across several industries – IT, eCommerce and Healthcare – but it was Real Estate that truly resonated with him in 2009.
Sid’s first purchase was a commercial space in Charlestown, which he bought with intent to convert into condominium units. Then a beginner without prior experience, he sought knowledge by learning on the job and was involved in all aspects of the project from obtaining permits to selecting materials. He admittedly made blunders along the way, but came out overall unscathed, wiser and captivated by real estate. He has never looked back since.
A decade later, Sid founded Treetop Group as an amalgamation of his real estate business divisions. He approaches the growth of each division and the Group with excitement, drive, hard work and honesty. He is selective with the people with whom he works, and is proud of the team that he has put together.
When not occupied by real estate, Sid is involved in philanthropy. He is inspired by Bill and Melinda Gates. He channels his success to various causes in India and has to date contributed to the building of schools that provide free education for the poor and facilities that provide medicine to disaster affected areas. He is a co-founder of the School Of Internal Literacy (SOIL), which is a free, virtual school that teaches meditation and self-energizing techniques.
Sid holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering along with a Master in Business from San Diego State University. He lives with his parents, wife and two kids in Reading MA.
