Taking the Gitex Future Stars stage this year is Akshay Ruparelia, founder of real estate search site Doorsteps.co.uk. A billionaire property tycoon at 21 years of age, he is often referred to as “the new Mark Zuckerberg,” and his real estate platform is called the “Uber of the property world.”
The child and caregiver of two deaf parents, Ruparelia experienced moving as a youngster and was shocked at the commissions real estate agents were charging.
Doorsteps has completely disrupted UK real estate, charging a £99 upfront fee and no commission on the sale of any properties made via the site.
