THE PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
Mina Radhakrishnan Co-Founder:Different
Mina Radhakrishnan runs a 200-employee Australian proptech firm that is disrupting the real estate sector.
Mina Radhakrishnan is solutions focused. The mother-of- two and proptech company co-founder brings her Silicon Valley experience to the property sector in Australia to disrupt and streamline property management. Radhakrishnan has worked for Google, Goldman Sachs, and joined Uber as their 20th employee before launching her own proptech company :Different. She says the proptech firm launched its property management rent roll solution in October last year and expected to sign up thousands of real estate agencies. “Last year we launched our latest project :Different for Agencies,” she says. “It’s an operation and management of rent roll solution, which brings together a team of property experts and a proven tech platform solution. “For many agencies they want to focus on growth and sales, what we do is really solve this problem, we take away the pain of property management.” Transparent data is a crucial plank in the platform’s operations, according to Radhakrishnan. She says the platform provides real-time property management portfolio tracking for agencies as well as insights and recommendations on asset performance and profitability. The proptech company operates across the eastern seaboard with about 200 employees across Australia and Sri Lanka. Radhakrishnan says the technology enables seamless logging of maintenance and property management issues, and a single point solution that tracks issues through to completion. She says parenting her two small children while running :Different is a challenge, but she says she puts two hours aside each day for family time when she is offline. “As a leader making those decisions, that makes it okay for others to set those boundaries too. It gives people space to do it.”
