On this edition of Open For Business, we speak to Azran Osman-Rani, CEO and Co-founder of digital health startup Naluri, about his transition from the corporate world and C-Suite into the startup ecosystem and then to starting up his own venture. Among other things, you will learn the reason behind this focus on employee wellbeing and digital health, how he balances the double-edged sword of bringing on strategic investors early in a startup's life, lessons learnt from his times with AirAsia X and iFlix that have helped him build Naluri, and what his ambitions for the company look like ahead.Before his startup Naluri, Azran Osman-Rani started his career in management consulting, before moving to Bursa and then Astro in business transformation and business development roles. In 2007, he got his first taste of building and running a company, taking on the CEO role at AirAsia X for almost 8 years, before joining iFlix's leadership team as Group COO and CEO for Malaysia for around 2 years.All these experiences played a role in his journey to startup founder and how he approached building Naluri.Founded in 2017, Naluri takes a proactive approach at tackling employee health and wellbeing in the hopes that preventive healthcare will lead to improved employee productivity, reduced healthcare claims, and ofcourse, improved real-world business results.Naluri made around $4 million in annual revenue last year and is aiming to drive growth ahead through more geographic expansion, expanding their focus from the large enterprise space to the SME space, and looking into more products and services that compliment their existing offerings. Currently operationally profitable in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore, Naluri aims to break-even this year and is working on raising its next funding round which it hopes to be in the USD$10-20 million range.

Today on The Aid Station I have the privilege of meeting Azran Osman-Rani, one of Asias' most sought after speakers, an inspirational business leader and a passionate triathlete. The show is jam-packed with valuable personal and business tips. I caught up with Azran from Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday on the day of his first outdoor run in over six weeks. He shared that "the lock-down here is pretty serious, we have police and military on the streets and someone even got arrested for running within their gated community compound". Among his weekly rituals are the importance of allocating "at least an hour with my team to reflect on how things went and what needs to be adjusted." The key is to ensure that everyone is engaged "in a virtual world it is important to have a process that ensures the conversation is not dominated by a few and that each team member is drawn into the conversation" Azran also allocates time "to imagine opportunities beyond COVID-19 and not just be caught up in a tactical survival focus" He believes being willing to ask for help and surrounding yourself with people who can support you is critical.

Today we bring you more messages of hope from our past podcast guests. We are all feeling the pressure and anxiety from the COVID-19 pandemic. But together, we can beat this crisis and thrive in it. Mohd Sedek Jantan from Ep44 Panic Selling When Stocks Fall is Usually a Terrible Idea If you have invested for more than three years, but are only now experiencing short-term losses, do not obsess about the reduction in value. Losses of 20% to 30% are normal. Understand that equity volatility is the price you pay for capital appreciation over the long term. Now is the time to differentiate between income and wealth. During this COVID-19 pandemic, wealth that investors have accumulated over a lifetime has eroded in value as the market has crashed. But were you making good returns before? If yes, take this opportunity to top up your investment. Set up an automatic investment schedule. This removes the emotion from the process. If the market sinks further, do not fret, most of us are investing for the long term anyway. Azran Osman-Rani from Ep76 From Zero to a Billion Dollar IPO One thing that’s holding us back from dealing with this crisis even with excellent advice is acceptance. We subconsciously hope that after COVID-19, things will return to how they used to be, and so we are not living in the reality of the situation. The tension between the logical part of knowing what we have to do to change and adapt, and the emotional part yearning for the stability of the past is what is causing pressure, anxiety, and even depression. When we accept, we can move on and do what we need to do to move ahead and let go of that yearning for the good old days, and we will be able to cope better with the current situation. Lasse-Peter Pestel from Ep7 Eurozone Bailout Fund: Considering Risk over Return A crisis can be an opportunity for your company to thrive just look at delivery companies such as DHL or UPS. They are reporting figures which are the same as the pre-Christmas times, and these are the busiest times of the year. Don’t break the law even during holidays. Staying at home, it will calm you down and give you peace of mind. The current situation is a bit tense. Nonetheless, let’s do what we can to cope with the situation and hope that it will be over soon.

Azran Osman Rani is currently the founding CEO of Naluri a digital health technology company that provides a cost-effective and accessible digital health psychology service to help users adopt healthier lifestyle behavior changes. He is active in the internet technology space is a co-founder investor and advisor to iFlix, MoneyMatch, Cognifyx, and YellowPorter. He was previously the CEO and group COO of iFlix – a disruptive Internet TV-and-video-on-demand service that was launched in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in May 2015. It now operates across more than 30 markets in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa and has 700 employees, all in less than three years from its launch. Previously, Azran pioneered the long-haul, low-cost-airline model as the founding CEO of Air Asia X. He led the airline’s growth from start-up to US$1 billion in revenue, 2,500 employees, and a public listing, all in just six years, breaking many low-cost airline industry conventions and introducing innovations along the way.   “I ended up with a seven-digit net-cash loss … and eventually had to part company with the board on that journey. So it was a very, very tough and painful, financial ending … But you know, I learned an invaluable amount from that experience, and I wouldn’t have traded it for anything else.” – Azran Osman-Rani   Lesson learned Be very wary of what banks or investment bankers tell you or advise you to do. They are getting paid their fees and commissions even if your business suffers. Have a back-up plan. Every organization or individual should have a back-up plan or alternative way to survive or cover from loss.   Andrew’s takeaway The damage of leverage. There are really only two financial risks: debt and currency. If a business is run without debt, a huge amount of risk is reduced. In business and in life, the damage of leverage can never be understated. Obey the principle of trying to remain debt-free and the principle of diversification. Never listen to financial people. Investment bankers and analysts and other players in finance usually never run a company. They sit on the sidelines doing research and giving advice, without risking anything, without having any “skin in the game”. In fact, they are making money from getting a business owner to follow their advice, which is quite distracting. Finance adds no value. This is something Andrew tells his finance students. Value is created through products and services. Value is created on the asset side of the balance sheet, where the assets of the business and the brains and the commitment and determination of the people go into creating better products and services. This is what creates value. The job of a CFO of a company is to use finance as a tool to support management decisions. Remember this, a CEO or a young CEO, who is out there trying to build their business should not get lulled into thinking that financial maneuvers are going to create long-term value.   You can also check out Andrew’s books  How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market My Worst Investment Ever 9 Valuation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Transform Your Business with Dr. Deming’s 14 Points   Connect with Azran Osman-Rani: LinkedIn Twitter Azran Osman Rani Instagram   Connect with Andrew Stotz  astotz.com LinkedIn Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube My Worst Investment Ever Podcast
