From Oil & Gas to Wellness Mogul: Gaurav Gupta’s Journey to 12+ Spas Across Canada - Calgary - Canada's Entrepreneur

Gaurav Gupta, Owner of Leela Eco Spa, Leela Thermal House and SKA Thermal Spa.

Entrepreneur with a passion for purpose-driven growth, operational efficiency, and people centered leadership. He combines a background in engineering and global business with a hands-on approach to building service based brands.

After 6 years in Oil & Gas (SNC-Lavalin & Suncor Energy), he transitioned into entrepreneurship in 2014 by acquiring Leela Eco Spa, despite no prior experience in the wellness space. What began as a single spa in Calgary has grown into a portfolio of 12+ locations across Canada, including the launch of SKA Thermal Spa, Calgary’s first urban thermal wellness concept.

Today, Leela Eco Spa and SKA Thermal Spa support over 350 team members and serve 140,000+ guests annually. The growth has been guided by lean systems, strong financial discipline, and a commitment to uplifting both clients and team members through exceptional service and meaningful experiences.
