Rahul Murthy Krishnamoorthy

I am an entrepreneurial founder and operator with experience taking ideas from zero to launch, building products, and growing businesses. My background in engineering gave me a solid technical foundation, but most of my learning has come from getting hands-on — developing start-ups, testing products with customers, and running operations end-to-end.

As Founder & Director of Pergola Drinks, I built a premium ready-to-drink brand from scratch, creating MVPs, validating them with customers, and scaling into the UK and Caribbean markets. Along the way, I focused on making things sustainable — reducing plastic use, improving production practices, and keeping growth eco-conscious.

I am also a landlord with three properties, which means I have had real-world exposure to the property industry — managing tenants, dealing with operations, and seeing how people actually live day to day. Combined with my start-up journey and early grassroots work in environmental projects, I bring a builder’s mindset, a customer-first approach, and practical experience to ventures at the intersection of real estate, tech, and lifestyle.

• Sustainability & Environmental Advocacy - I was youth member of the 'Salem Tree Club' and also 'WWF-India' during my student years.
