This podcast was slightly different from our others, as we went deep into both real estate and the startup building process.He spoke about his education journey and how IIT shaped his thinking, but what stood out was how that translated into real-world decisions after stepping out.We also spoke about Rishabraj’s journey and the vision for the next 10 years.I also shared a few stories from my time in London how I used to manage life there and what eventually shaped my transition into the family business.A big part of the conversation was around Truva (the startup) how it was formed, what problem it is solving, and how the entire model works. From reselling, costing, selecting homes, to maintaining quality checks, he broke down the process in a very simple way.We also spoke about managing locations, expansion across Mumbai and other cities, how startup timelines actually work, and understanding concepts like burn rate.Towards the end, Puneet shared his thought process, how he manages his week, the choices he has made along the way, and his outlook on future collaborations.A must-watch if you want to understand how real estate and startups are coming together, and what it actually takes to build something from the ground up.
