Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?
Dhara Patel : Imagine this: a family entrenched in business for over 30 years, and there I was, the black sheep seeking something different. Growing up surrounded by my family's construction business, I often encountered poor quality renderings that left much to be desired. Witnessing this gap between what was needed and what was available ignited a passion within me for better quality and accessibility in 3D rendering and VR technology.
I realized that small businesses, like my dad's, could benefit immensely from high-quality visualizations to stand out in the market. That's when the idea struck: to make 3D rendering and VR accessible for businesses of all sizes, empowering them to lead in their respective markets. And thus, the vision for Outer Realm was born - to democratize cutting-edge technology and redefine the standards of visualization in the luxury real estate sector.

Great Companies: What were the struggles and challenges you faced and how did you overcome them?
Dhara Patel :Ah, the struggles! One of our main challenges revolved around helping customers recognize the necessity of our product in accelerating their potential buyers' decision-making process. The reality is, the current generation of buyers is increasingly visual, yet the real estate industry hasn't quite caught up. As a result, our clients were experiencing slower sales due to a lack of visual engagement.
Navigating through the complexities of high-end architectural designs was tough, but bridging the gap between traditional sales methods and modern buyer expectations proved to be our greatest hurdle. However, with unwavering dedication to quality and innovation, we embraced this challenge head-on.
