He began building businesses in high school, founding and later selling a fashion brand at 17. Alongside his studies, he is building Haven AI, an AI-enabled sleep health venture, has helped expand RentAAA, an asset management software company, into the property sector, and runs a consultancy helping established businesses adapt and grow through technology and AI. Arshia believes AI can dramatically shorten the distance between having an idea and being able to build it, particularly for people who may not yet have the technical skills, resources or team behind them. More broadly, he sees AI as a way to remove barriers and routine work, giving people more time to focus on the work they genuinely care about and are uniquely good at. That perspective is reflected in his work with UTS Startups, where he helps school students build the confidence and practical skills to create, experiment, learn through failure and turn ideas into something real. |
His ambition is to operate at the intersection of engineering, technology and business, building ventures around emerging technologies
