Born out of Vik Tara’s 30+ years of experience in the property rental market, Rentr addresses the inefficiencies and unfair practices he witnessed first-hand, empowering both landlords and tenants with greater control and transparency.
“Having worked with Vik previously, we recognise him as an exceptional entrepreneur,” said Karl Schabas, General Parnter at VMS Ventures. “His deep understanding of the property market, combined with his technical expertise, makes him ideally positioned to lead Rentr to success, not just in the UK, but globally.”
Vik is assembling a team of seasoned professionals with a proven track record in real estate technology. These individuals, most of who collaborated with him at TBL to build software used by the UK’s leading estate agencies, are now bringing their expertise to Rentr.
This close-knit team, with a strong company culture built on trust and shared vision, includes:
- Gaurav Kalia, CTO: A technology leader with over 17 years of experience, spearheading the development and implementation of Rentr’s AI solutions.
- Deepak Chandrababu, COO: With nearly two decades in proptech, Deepak bridges the gap between human expertise and technology to solve real-world challenges.
- Dr Adam Blaxter Paliwala, Executive Strategist: A futurist with a PhD in Linguistics with a focus on cataloguing voice, responsible for building strategic partnerships and driving company growth.
- Jen Naiff, CMO: A marketing expert with 21 years of experience, including 8 years in startups, driving growth through innovative strategies.
“Our technological development trajectory is incredible,” says Tara. “The speed at which we are rolling out new features and the R&D underway will see our AI engine surpass anything you’ve seen before in 2025. We’re revolutionising the rental industry.”
