Reena Gupta is a mom, a solo bootstrapped entrepreneur, an author, a work-life harmony coach, and an advocate of teaching entrepreneurship. She is an integral part of her community, serving in the city economic vitality committee and school superintendent advisory board. Growing up in a joint family in India with three dozen relatives, Reena always knew she was not alone and that a rising tide, indeed, lifts all boats. Having no business background or connections, Reena wrote her own script by emigrating to Nashville, TN where she created two companies, Avankia and TargetRecruit. Hiring a stay-at-home mom as her first employee left a big impression on Reena, and she knew that someday she would do more to help women and the underutilized talent pool. After a successful exit from TargetRecruit, Reena founded Mom Relaunch Foundation, to nurture and mentor women reentering the workforce. Using her experience, Reena wrote her new book, Career Interrupted, which teaches about balancing life’s 3-legged-stool; career, wellness, and family & friends. Reena is a lifetime learner and an optimist who is inspired by her kids every day. She is intrigued by traveling to new places, exploring new cultures, exercising her mind through yoga, and meditation.
