Authentic leaders have the genuine capability to serve others through their leadership. They are more interested in empowering the people rather than being at the centre stage. They lead to make a difference with the purpose, meaning, & values and build enduring relationships with people. Here is the story of such an authentic and sporty leader, who is bringing innovative solutions in the real estate industry.
Rahul Chawla, the Founder and CEO of In4Velocity is committed to build a vertical solution for the property development market to manage complex construction activities and customer related sales transactions, with his focused efforts.
The Journey from an Employee to an Entrepreneur
The legendary personalities like Elon Musk and Steve Jobs, motivated and inspired Rahul, who dared to do something different. Rahul is born and brought up in Kolkata and is an avid sports person. After completing his schooling from St. Xaviers, Kolkata, he went to the Modern School Barakhamba in New Delhi for his HSC and then he graduated in Computer Science. While in college, he did several part-time jobs that work experience was much inspirational which made him a multi-tasking person.
Rahul started his journey as an employer with a start-up called Cambrige Technology Partners (CTP). With his strong technical skills and interpersonal skills, he became a key member of the leadership team. He helped in establishing CTP’s presence across several countries. Eventually, to establish CTP India, he moved back to India from Europe, by dropping his very lucrative salary package. With the strong belief, he is working dedicatedly, to build the CTP’s Indian organization.
“This opportunity of working at CTP, gave me a platform to develop my already in-bred entrepreneurial skills. It gave me an opportunity to grow, take chances and helps to build a super-fast growing company” asserts Rahul.
Over the time, Rahul realized that it was the right time to establish his own company and since then, he began his journey as an entrepreneur. The risk-taking ability is what made him different from the others. He left the CTP in the year 2000 and started Orbit-e consulting and merged it into a Bain-funded company. In the year 2004, he established In4Velocity, which is India’s largest Real Estate ERP Company for the Property Developers and Infrastructure players. The company continues to grow its roots into Asia. Further, he established ArrowPS®, and conceptualizes In4Sourcing®. Besides, he has also been a part of a global organization called the YEO (Young Entrepreneurs’ Organization), and now is a part of the YPO (Young Presidents Organization).
