Who is Azran Osman-Rani?
Azran Osman-Rani is a business builder at heart. As CEO and co-founder of Naluri, he leads a digital behavioral health company that takes a preventive and holistic approach to mental health and chronic disease management.

From startup to IPO
Before Naluri, Azran served as CEO of AirAsia X, where he transformed a business plan into a publicly listed company valued at $1 billion. Over six years, he scaled the company to 2,500 employees, helping pioneer long-haul low-cost travel in Asia.
He later became CEO of iflix Malaysia, where he played a key role in expanding the platform to 20 million users across 20 markets in just three years.
