Parent pom migration to gradle

Help/Discuss
1

In my spring boot project the pom.xml has a <parent> tag which refers to the parent pom.

<parent>
        <groupId>com.sintara.codify.ems</groupId>
        <artifactId>ems-parent-pom</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0</version>
    </parent>

I am migrating my project from maven to gradle.

How do I take care of this or parent pom concept in Gradle.

Is there any way to do it without converting it into a multi project setup.
