    In this episode of Get Real, the official podcast by Magicbricks, we sit down with Arun Kumar Aleti, CEO of Elemental Realty, for a deeply personal and insightful conversation on ambition, risk-taking, and redefining real estate in India.From growing up in Vizag to studying at IIT Kharagpur and IIM Ahmedabad, Arun’s journey is shaped by both discipline and introspection. What started as a personal frustration while buying his own home eventually became the trigger for building a real estate company rooted in professionalism, transparency, and customer-first thinking.This conversation goes beyond business. Arun opens up about leaving a stable corporate career to pursue purpose, the early struggles of building without capital or legacy, and the mindset required to succeed in a traditionally closed industry. He shares lessons from failure, the importance of structured thinking over instinct, and why most developers get the fundamentals wrong.We also explore the human side of leadership—how dance, marathons, and even his 4-year-old son have shaped his approach to life and business. From leadership lessons that no MBA can teach to his long-term vision for transforming India’s home-buying experience, this episode offers both inspiration and practical insights.Whether you are a homebuyer, entrepreneur, or someone navigating career choices, this episode gives you a real look at what it takes to build something meaningful from the ground up.
