Some Lesser Known Facts About Akshay Ruparelia
At just 19 years of age, Indian-origin Akshay Ruparelia has become one of UK’s youngest millionaires after his agency was valued at £12 million.
Talking about his first project in an interview, Ruparelia said that through his website, a man from Sussex hired him to sell his home and a piece of land beside it. “I had to pay my sister’s boyfriend 40 pounds to drive me to Sussex to take photographs of the house, as I hadn’t passed my driving test and didn’t have a car,” said the young entrepreneur. Within three weeks, Ruparelia managed to sell the property and since then there has been no looking back for him.
In October 2017, his online estate agency website, doorsteps.co.uk, became the “18th biggest estate agency” in the UK just 16 months after going live.
Interestingly, since he could not take up customers’ calls during his school hours, he hired a call centre to take up the queries/requests of people on his behalf. He would then call them back during lunch-break and free lectures, creating a good customer-relationship with his clients.
The company, which he started with an investment of ÂŁ7,000, has hired self-employed mothers across the UK, who show customers around the properties he has been tasked to sell.
The young businessman claims to have sold properties worth over ÂŁ100 million in just over a year.
While conventional estate agencies in the UK charge a huge chunk of the selling amount as commission, Ruparelia’s company carries out the entire selling process for just £99.
He cites low-cost airline – Ryanair – founder Michael O Leary as his inspiration.
In mid-2017, he raised £400,000 from investors on a crowd-funding web portal, in exchange for 3.25% of his business.
A complete all-rounder, Ruparelia, despite being preoccupied with his business, managed to secure five A’Levels (three A* and two A grades) in maths, politics, economics, history and financial studies, respectively.
Since both his parents are deaf and mute, he mastered the sign language at a very young age.
