Co-Founder at Japandi, Feb 2025 - Sep 2026 · 1 yr 8 mos, Bengaluru, Founded and scaled a design-led extended-stay (30+ day) rental brand for corporate relocations and expat professionals, growing the business to INR 2.03 crore in annual revenue. Led market research and product-market fit discovery; identified the 30+ day corporate long-stay segment as a compliant, scalable niche that avoids residential society (RWA) restrictions on short-term rentals. Shipped a marketplace pivot onboarding third-party hosts under a compliance umbrella: guest KYC, digital lease-agreement generation, RWA documentation workflows, and OTP-based gate access; owned the roadmap and requirements from user research through spec and launch. Designed the monetization model (targeting 15% platform revenue share; earlier iteration used a 3% host / 12% booker commission split) and validated corporate pricing across IT-corridor micro-markets including Bellandur and Sarjapur. Built and executed a 90-day corporate go-to-market framework targeting the primary growth constraint (corporate account acquisition), with positioning materials for HR and workplace-admin buyers. Converted RWA, GST, and police-verification requirements into a repeatable compliance workflow across a multi-property portfolio.
