“I realised that as corny as it sounds, with success comes huge responsibility. The more of a giver you are, the more responsible you become. I’m looking after my father, his new partner, their child, my mother-in-law, my wife, and others. I have a team that keeps growing every year, and they’d all be impacted heavily if something happens to me.”

After leaving Commonwealth Bank in 2018, Arjun found himself in a niche industry where few were willing to share their knowledge. He decided to take a different approach, openly sharing his expertise and building a community-focused business model. This transparency, combined with his data-driven approach to market analysis, quickly set him apart in the property investment space.

Arjun structured InvestorKit to mirror the private banking model he experienced at CBA, implementing a five-to-one client ratio with specialists in different areas. This approach ensures clients receive world-class service across onboarding, buying, acquisitions, research, and strategy rather than dealing with a single, stretched professional trying to handle everything.

“Your onboarding team, your buying team, your acquisitions backend, your research backend, your strategy, everyone from a client perspective gets world-class service in each space. Whether we’re one client in for the month or 40 clients, they all get an unreal experience that is tailored but also scalable.”

As the business has grown, Arjun’s role has evolved from hands-on client work to managing managers and key team members. He’s implemented a productivity system focused on completing one to two high-priority tasks daily that move the business forward, rather than getting caught up in emails and messages that don’t drive results.

“BAI gave me the framework and confidence to build this business. Without it, I wouldn’t have had the clarity to grow this fast.”

Looking ahead, Arjun is focusing on technology integration, with his brother Ankit joining as Head of Technology to enhance client experience through machine learning and AI. His vision is to continue elevating industry standards through transparency and customer-focused service.

“We’re on a mission to show that maybe you were unsure, maybe you thought it wasn’t possible, maybe you thought this is just an ad. Well, just please watch us every fortnight for the next year—real stories, real people, real outcomes, real deals, real testimonials. We don’t need to worry about convincing people anymore because everything’s out there now.”
