I am meeting you after 30 months, thanks to Covid. A lot of changes in the way we work. Welcome to this episode of How to Who the Secret of Success. Let me give you a quick background in why we started this podcast. The managers, the leaders of companies, start-ups etc from around the world. We all make this mistake of subconsciously thinking that we are the right people, I am the right person to handle either an opportunity or a challenge. Instead of that, if we can bring in the right expert to handle it for example, if I had a legal issue, but then I should be talking to you. Instead of that if I try to solve it for myself, it doesn’t work. Similarly, if I had a heart problem. So this is about figuring out and discovering the how to who of it. So with that in mind, I’m going to start asking you questions.

Founder of reAlpha Giri Devanur is the founder and CEO of reAlpha, a cutting-edge technology company with a plan to empower everyone to invest in the $1.2 trillion short-term rental markets. Prior to founding reAlpha, he served as the President and CEO of Ameri100 Inc. and scaled Ameri from $0 to $50M in revenue, and completed the IPO on Nasdaq in under 4 years. Giri was awarded the E&Y Entrepreneur of the Year in 2017 and authored a book titled “Nothing to Nasdaq”. Where did the idea for reAlpha come from? I received a call from a friend who was interested in buying an Airbnb property of $400k. At that time, she did not have the 25% down payment of $100k. After a while, she came to me and asked if I could lend or solve the problem! That’s when the idea of creating a platform for people to invest in real estate without having thousands and millions of dollars upfront. Not long after, I and several like-minded people joined forces and created our company reAlpha! That was the beginning of our journey to democratize real estate investing within the emerging Airbnb short-term rental market. What does your typical day look like and how do you make it productive? No two leaves are the same, no two days are alike. My schedule can be crazy sometimes, but I try my best to keep a routine that allows me to care for my body and mind and excel at work. I start my day very early, around 5AM. After my meditation and going to the gym (I listen to podcasts during my workout), I start off with calling our teams in Nepal and India. Then, I work on finance-related items followed by marketing. That’s usually how I spend my mornings. Afternoons are left for operations issues. Evenings are for new product ideas and so on. Also, to make myself accountable and productive, I keep a to-do list of the top 20 things of the day. I make it productive by having the top 20 things to do in a day. That has been massively helpful.
