A non-traditional route into property

Parul began her career studying politics and working in the public sector, where she qualified as an accountant. Seeking a faster-paced environment, she transitioned into management consultancy, spending six years tackling challenges for large organisations and travelling extensively.

After starting a family, Parul sought a better work-life balance. At that time, her brother had just launched Fruition Properties and completed its first construction project. He invited her to join the business to support its operations and systems. Two decades later, Parul remains vital to the company’s success and growth.

Advice for starting your career in property

We asked Parul what advice she would give to someone considering taking a leap of faith into the property industry. Her response? “Say yes.” She encourages embracing opportunities, even if they seem daunting at first. Parul advises focusing on discovering what you excel at and using that as a foundation to build your career.

She believes that each job presents an opportunity to learn more about what you enjoy and what might not be the best fit for you. There’s immense value in exploring diverse roles and experiences until you find an environment that feels like home—a place where you can truly grow and develop your skills. By remaining open to possibilities and trusting the process, you can carve out a fulfilling path in the property industry.
