Episode 16: Dr Say Vivekanantham on NHS Frustration, Building a Property Empire and Founding a PropTech Startup

What happens when a junior doctor turns a single flat into 50 properties — and then builds a platform to fix the broken home-buying system?

In this episode, we speak with Dr Sayinthen Vivekanantham, a former NHS doctor who left clinical training to pursue property investing, eventually founding Homi, a fast-growing PropTech startup reshaping how real estate agents, solicitors, and buyers collaborate.

🏥 Why medicine felt like the wrong choice — and the creative frustration that sparked Say’s pivot
🧮 How he built a 50-property portfolio from scratch using spreadsheets, stress tests and grit
🧠 Lessons from failed startups and side projects in medical school
🔧 What inspired Homi and how Say bootstrapped it into a platform now powering 3,000+ transactions/month
⚖️ Balancing risk, regret, and building a scalable business — without losing your life to work

Say’s story is a deep dive into how to take calculated risks, trust your instincts, and design a career that fits you — not just your degree.
