Why own when you can share? Why the sharing economy is booming

Starting up with Virtuzone

Friday, 1 May 2026 - 40 minutes

We’re talking about the sharing  economy — and why some of the smartest businesses today are being built on the fact that many people now… don’t like to OWN things. 

From cars you access by the minute, to kitchens and workspaces you lease flexibly, to homes turned into high-performing short-term rentals — the old rules of business are changing.

We are joined by Hasib Khan, Founder and CEO of Udrive, Shahzad Bhatti, Founder of The Co-Kitchens and The Co-Spaces, and Gregory Lewis, Founder and CEO of AirDXB.
