Venkatesh Ganapathy is driven by his vision to make moving and living in a home easier and more cost-effective. Combining ever-emerging technology with the human touch enables all of the advantages of data, artificial intelligence (AI) and speed. At every level of the value chain, he designed services to build wealth and reduce expenses to the consumer. In the 10 years since launching LiveEasy, Ganapathy has built his business on a diverse and inclusive culture. He can envision technical innovation long before the masses and combine that with business and financial acumen. He is a gifted leader who embodies strong work ethic with kindness and a desire to help people grow professionally. In the last 12 months, the company has gone from an exclusively founder-led organization to one with a diverse executive team, including significant recruits from around the industry to inform and lead the company into its expanded services and to further enable the impact on the U.S. housing economy. Ganapathy — along with co-founder Niraj Patel — more than doubled the company revenue and employee base, and secured Series A funding. Additionally, the company now serves more than 900 of the leading real estate brokerages in the country, with more than 165,000 end users, as well as growth into the mortgage, MLS and rental industries.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
It’s related to how we interact with others, whether it’s in the context of business or life in general. It’s all about the power of communication and the willingness to be open to feedback. Over time, I’ve come to understand that keeping an idea locked away hinders its potential. Sharing fosters growth, development, and innovation. The more you’re willing to share, the more ideas you receive in return. It’s a reciprocal process that enriches both your personal and professional endeavors.”
