Even a Grab driver can transform his life and earn a five-figure income in real estate. AG Sasidar, the IQI agent who transformed from Grab driver to property agent, has already made it!
This article explores how AG Sasidar transformed from a Grab driver to a successful property agent, highlighting the power of determination and resilience in achieving dreams despite challenges.
The Collapse of Networking Business
AG Sasidar spent almost nine years in a networking business, earning RM40,000 to RM50,000 monthly. Then, overnight, the company shut down, leaving him without an income and unsure of his next steps.
Determined to start a meaningful and profitable business, Sasidar was unsure where to begin. To support his family and newborn second child, he became a Grab driver.
This decision marked the start of his journey from driving for Grab to becoming a successful property agent, eventually earning a five to six-figure income.
Sasidar started as a Grab driver in Seremban, but it wasn’t profitable. To increase his income, he commuted between Seremban and Kuala Lumpur, leaving at 4 AM on Mondays and returning on Saturday nights.
He spent almost six days a week sleeping in his car and using public toilets for showers.
From Grab Driver to Real Estate Success
After six months, he realized that driving for Grab was not his true passion. An inner voice told him to follow his passion and make a change for his family. He decided to quit Grab and pursue a career in real estate.

Determined to succeed, he joined IQI, believing it was the best company for his new path. This marked the start of his successful real estate career.
It’s been exactly five years since Sasidar joined IQI. When asked how he learned about the company, he explained
I spent two days meticulously researching online, carefully evaluating various options, and I concluded that IQI was the best company for me.

Eager to join, he inquired through the IQI website and anxiously waited for a response. After two days, he received an exciting call from Lennard Koay, the head of the team.
Lennard explained everything about the company, and from that moment, Sasidar decided to join IQI, marking the start of his successful journey in real estate.
Starting from driving for Grab, he now earns a five to six-figure income.
Challenges in Early Days with IQI
Initially, Sasidar struggled to make ends meet in the business using traditional methods like cold calling and WhatsApp blasts.
Despite his efforts, he couldn’t generate significant income. Commuting daily from Seremban at 5 AM on his Honda EX5 motorbike, he diligently opened his workstation at Empire City by 6:30 AM, often staying until late at night.
Besides that, after a year, he realized something about his Indian community. He said,
I wanted to help my Indian community, who lacked knowledge and struggled with buying property. So, I decided to create videos to educate them on how to navigate the process, what to look out for, and what they needed to know.

Despite earning nothing from real estate for a year and a half, his educational approach eventually paid off as he built trust within the community. Six months later, he started seeing financial results from his efforts.
Learning and Growth: How IQI helps Sasidar
Before joining IQI, Sasidar had zero knowledge about real estate. After joining, he recalls learning a lot from the company’s elite founders like Kashif Ansari and Daniel Ho, who encouraged him to educate others.
To educate people effectively, he knew he needed to understand property knowledge first.
He dedicated himself to reading articles, studying various topics, and sharing what he learned with his social media followers.
Sasidar stays with IQI because the company pushes him out of his comfort zone. IQI’s focus on technology and continuous encouragement to grow and improve keep him motivated and committed.
His main inspiration in this industry is his own head of team, Lennard Koay and Aaron Siow, the Elite team founder.
Sasidar’s journey to a six-figure income began with a tough 18 months without earnings. His breakthrough came with his first RM10,000, inspiring him to aim higher.
He set progressively larger goals: RM30,000, RM50,000, RM70,000, and beyond. Achieving each milestone required a mindset shift and continuous effort.
By focusing on one goal at a time and celebrating each success, Sasidar steadily increased his income. Now, he’s working on building passive income streams for financial security.
The best part is he also managed to won a car incentive from IQI which definitely accomplished his dream to own a big car!
Balancing Sacrifice and Success: Work-Life Balance
When Sasidar joined IQI, he initially struggled with work-life balance. For the first year, he had no income, making it difficult to provide for his family.
He focused intensely on his work and told his wife and kids that his sacrifice was for their future. He committed another six months to hard work, and his perseverance paid off.
Now, Sasidar works from 7 AM to 4 PM, does his workouts, and spends time with his kids. He also dedicates one or two days a week entirely to his family, often taking them on vacations.
Though it required significant sacrifice, Sasidar now enjoys the flexibility of his job and effectively balances work and family life.
I owe a heartfelt thank you to my wife. During the tough year and a half without income, she supported us by selling our house and belongings. Her belief in me, even when I doubted myself, was crucial. Her unwavering support was essential to my journey and success.
