While the global real estate industry recovers from the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, significant skepticism exists among investors regarding investing in growing economies. Yet, the Malaysian real estate market has come into the spotlight as a preferred destination, promising high returns and investment safety. The growth of tourism hotspots like Genting Highlands and Langkawi, along with the establishment of the Rapid Transit System connecting Singapore and Malaysia, has bolstered the nation’s position as a safe investment opportunity.
Leading the charge in facilitating seamless and transparent property and real estate transactions among international investors is Joseph Rajarajan, Founder and CEO of D2S Ventures - a one-of-a-kind property management service agency. The company offers real-time market insights and real estate investment strategies, enabling clients to make well-informed choices.
Venturing into Real Estate
Rajarajan’s venture into Malaysia’s real estate market came from a desire to build his own business, leveraging his diverse knowledge gained from a strategic educational background. He began his journey in India, where he completed his education with an MBA in HR from Pondicherry University, following which he went to Singapore to complete a Master’s in International Political Economy from Nanyang Technological University. While working in Singapore as a recruiter after completing his education, he decided to start a business in Malaysia, venturing into the unknown but creating valuable connections early on that enabled him to build his company from scratch, leading to the establishment of D2S Ventures in 2014.
Over the years, the company grew steadily under his leadership, guided by his understanding of market opportunities and how to manage cross-border operations as a startup - a skill he acquired from his IPE master’s education. Leveraging all the skills he garnered throughout his studies, not only was he able to successfully launch a business but also create several job opportunities, contributing to elevating the country’s economy.
“I lived in Singapore for 5 years and in Malaysia for 10 years. As an Indian, I understand there are a lot of untapped opportunities in the services industry, especially in the real estate and healthcare sectors. D2S Ventures was founded with a long-term goal of growing as a trusted brand that promotes cross-border investments and creates new investment opportunities. We focus on utilizing the competitive advantage of both countries and benefiting investors with excellent capital gains and monthly returns.
Our goal is to grow sustainably as a business by offering our clients the best homes, from family residences to wise investment prospects, as well as the highest level of care we can provide. We take pride in knowing the local and global real estate markets, and this understanding enhances the value of our services in the real estate sector,” shares Joseph Rajarajan, Founder and CEO of D2S Ventures.

Smart Investment Decisions
With growing investor awareness about the risks involved in any investment, there is a significant challenge in building trust. Recognizing the vitality of building trust, especially for cross-border investments, and the effort and time it takes to enhance transparency between two parties, Joseph directs his efforts towards nurturing a relationship based on trust, mutual respect, and economic cooperation. Through his comprehensive approach, he seeks success while also opening doors for future partnerships, ensuring profitability for all stakeholders.
These efforts start at the very beginning, as the company focuses on the sale of units in the early construction phase. To help clients gain confidence in the upcoming structures, the firm integrates AR/ VR technology that helps them visualize and feel the ambiance and views of the units even before they are constructed. This helps build trust, confidence, and make wiser investments.
Starting a successful venture from scratch in a new country with no connections, and building everything from the ground up is the true trait of a leader. Joseph’s triumph in establishing his business stands as an inspiration to many, as he shares some words of wisdom to encourage future entrepreneurs.
“An entrepreneur can never be fully established. It will always be a journey towards betterment. From my experience; People are important. Everything everyone does is for people. Businesses must be thought and built for people to make their lives sustainable and better than today. With this philosophy as the DNA for your business, you can excel anywhere like we did because of our commitment to providing excellent customer service and our enthusiasm for real estate. It enabled us to build our company on a foundation of transparency and envision ourselves to be the top real estate company in Malaysia and India,” further adds Joseph.
