Deepak Sharma
Creative · Entrepreneur
Deepak Sharma is the founder of Rentnest, an Australian property venture built on five years of hands-on experience leading property acquisitions at Search Property, and a graduate of UNSW. Before property became his path, Deepak chased a very different dream - leaving corporate finance behind to pursue acting, sitting through roughly 200 humbling Bollywood auditions and confronting the industry's nepotism head-on. He's also the host of his own podcast, Living the Dream, giving him a rare vantage point on entrepreneurship from both sides of the mic. On Decoding Wisdom, Deepak gets candid about the tangled identity of growing up Australian-Indian, the racism and cultural disconnect he faced coming up, what it actually took to walk away from stability twice - first for acting, then for entrepreneurship - and lighter ground too, from modern dating and family expectations to the value of JOMO over FOMO.
