There’s not much to say about Rahul Yadav that you haven’t already heard. The Ex-CEO of Housing.com created a furore through not one but several antics as the head of his company, displaying an eccentric, bizarre and brash attitude that only a 26 year could exhibit. He might be slightly annoying, and just so damn smug, but it’s still fun to read about him, especially via his Facebook cover photos, which perfectly depict his recent life journey.
