Akshay Ruparelia

Akshay Ruparelia is a serial entrepreneur, disruptor, and social impact advocate who became a multi-millionaire by the age of 19 after founding Doorsteps.co.uk, the online estate agency that sold over £1 billion worth of property—and challenged the UK property sector with its low-fee, customer-first approach.

Recognised by Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe, Akshay’s entrepreneurial journey is a blueprint in bold thinking, innovation, and resilience. From humble beginnings as the son of migrant parents to becoming one of the UK's youngest and most successful business leaders, Akshay’s story resonates with dreamers, changemakers, and go-getters alike.

Now the Co-Founder and CEO of Brdge, an AI-powered platform transforming decision-making in real time, Akshay continues to push the boundaries of what's possible with technology, people, and purpose. He is also the founder of AKR Growth and 1 Club, a private London-based founders' network, and serves on multiple national advisory boards advocating for inclusive entrepreneurship and youth employment.

Through his dynamic keynote sessions, Akshay delivers more than a success story—he shares actionable insights on growth, disruption, and mindset, leaving audiences empowered to innovate, adapt, and lead with impact.
