Try to make a minimal reproducible example. Do not use commands like cmd1, etc. which we can't reproduce. See: How to create a Minimal, Reproducible Example. Give more information about how you start your script or command. — Pierre François

Thank you, but the commands you use, like cd /home/udaysrinivas/, are not reproducible for other users. Please, try to simplify the example for us. — Pierre François

You can have several --tab options:

gnome-terminal --tab -e bash --tab -e bash --tab -e cmd1 --tab -e cmd2
