Gaurav “Deep” Sethi

Gaurav “Deep” Sethi is a seasoned real estate developer and entrepreneur with a distinguished career rooted in hospitality and retail development across California and the Western United States. Raised in a family deeply entrenched in the operations of gas stations and hotels, Deep developed an early understanding of the real estate and service industries. This foundation sparked a lifelong passion for development and acquisitions.

In 2008, Deep seized the opportunity to build his first standalone retail center—a transformative experience that launched his career in real estate development. Since then, he has directly overseen and led over $650 million in development projects, with a particular focus on hospitality.

Deep’s hands-on leadership spans every stage of the development lifecycle, including land acquisition, entitlements and permitting, securing financing, and managing construction. His comprehensive approach and strategic insight have made him a trusted name in California’s competitive real estate market.

As the former Principal and Chief Development Officer of Sethi Management, Deep played a pivotal role in shaping the firm’s growth and success. Building on this legacy, he recently established a private family office to focus on new real estate investments, with an eye toward long-term value creation and strategic expansion.

Deep continues to pursue projects that align with his vision for innovative, high-impact real estate development, leveraging decades of experience and an entrepreneurial spirit cultivated from a young age.
