Tezlom : Jai on Leaving 30 Years in Property for a Tezlom Franchise

Tezlom UK partner Jaya Ramdin (Jai) shares his Kingston and Sutton territory launch story in this watch-page testimonial; a five-week-old operating case study that frames the Tezlom proposition for prospective candidates pivoting out of long careers in adjacent sectors. Jai operates the territory alongside his wife Usha, with the franchise serving as Usha's vehicle for running her own business after extensive career deliberation.
Jai opens the conversation with thirty-plus years in property, starting at an estate agent at age 18, advancing to manager, joining a north London local authority while training to chartered surveyor, launching his own estate agency, exiting that, and finally building a property consultancy buying for overseas investors. The Tezlom decision came down to wanting recession resilience; Jai and Usha looked at re-opening another estate agency but read the property market as too cyclical for the next phase of their working lives.
Jai is direct about why Tezlom won the franchise comparison. They had been offered a McDonald's franchise at one point but declined because the corporate scale would have made them effectively employees inside the McDonald's machine.
Jai uses the word community repeatedly to describe what changed for him at Tezlom. The property consultancy was a freelance, isolated, work-alone career; the Tezlom franchise has dropped him into a network of operating partners across the country, with HQ-led training, working-partner peer support, and the family-business framing that the cluster's other testimonials echo. He flags the network meeting where he met the other franchisees as a turning point; community over isolation is now driving day-to-day enthusiasm for the territory.
A Tezlom UK partnership converts a multi-decade adjacent-sector career into a recession-proof healthcare staffing territory inside a working, supportive network.
