Mr. Karthik started as CEO of RentMoola last November 2019. One in three households are renting in North America. With over 50 million renters paying over $500B in rents and utilities in North America, there is a need for more sophisticated FinTech liquidity solutions and expanded Financial literacy for all demographics. The problems of urban living , affordable Rents, Income inequality will only be worsened by COVID-19 Economy.
I firmly believed that the space is ripe for disruption. Complex problems require bold solutions that can only be stitched together by an Ecosystem of diverse world-class partners.
RentMoola The Inception-
We make collecting rent and property-related fees simple and efficient.
RentMoola was formed in 2013, when online payments were fairly new to the real estate market. This meant that as one of the innovators in the space, the company had to take on the challenge of changing user behavior to adapt the new technology.
As the market embraced this new flexibility of rental payments, competition soon followed. The market was split with the top ERP players having a majority market share in the high-end, large enterprise market while millions of consumers were underserved in the fragmented, high volume, mid-market and small enterprise markets.
With big players coming in, competition increased in the market, which gave the opportunity for RentMoola to differentiate through their world-class industry partnerships. RentMoola focuses on tenant empowerment and landlord efficiency and control. No other FinTech platform has solved the intricacies of this environment better than them.
As the company matured, the platform offered more flexibility through its 360° payment solutions, thus becoming the leading solution to offer the most flexible ways to pay. Today, RentMoola processes hundreds of millions in annual payments, with a growing revenue and user base.
Chief Executive Officer Karthik Manimozhi saw the potential of the platform to help create a diverse and inclusive community comprising the landlords and tenants.
There is a big opportunity for growth in advancing an already successful and stable platform and scaling its capabilities to take on a bigger challenge.
RentMoola delivers solutions across these three waves. Having their 360° payment solutions in place, RentMoola became a necessity for many property managers and their tenants to quickly adapt to contact-free payments.
To answer the need for non-predatory credit line solutions, RentMoola rolled out innovative new solutions on the platform. This gives tenants the ability to access a line of credit, and for property managers to access working capital for businesses. An industry first, these solutions allow for maximum flexibility with as many choices as possible to provide liquidity to its users.
The company has seen a large influx of users since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. RentMoola’s user base has been increasing by 45% percent and has over 227% percent growths in net revenue compared to the same period from last year.

Our mission and purpose is to provide tenants with flexibility, more financial control, and improved financial literacy.

The Team-
Our team is the backbone of RentMoola and critical to our success as a company.
Diversity is Not a Policy – It’s in Their DNA
When your company has a multicultural team of 34 people who speak 32 different languages, you’re doing something right. “Diversity encompasses every ounce of our FinTech company” – from empowering international university interns, to having nearly 40% women team members throughout our executive team, board membership, managers, and associates.
For the team at RentMoola, their diversity and inclusion practices are not formalized in any kind of policy – and they believe that it shouldn’t be. They recognize there is a need for widespread change, and for many companies, policies need to be set in place to make that happen.
“Our success comes down to one simple thing – it comes naturally. It is, in fact, part of our company’s DNA.”
Diversity Pays Off
RentMoola’s employees are located all over the Lower Mainland of BC, Canada as well as across the United States geographically, thus bringing in an excellent perspective from across North America. With this background, they can understand client’s needs and provide valuable solutions to their customers. “Having a diverse workforce means having the capability to respond to the needs of diverse markets.”
