Why Virtual TSM?

  • What motivates you to join TSM?

I would like to be given the opportunity to find out more about the mindset behind successful business innovators and how their journey was like. I like how TSM is able to provide me with exposure in both business and technology aspect which is a learning experience that I have not gotten yet in SMU and it is an area that I'm interested in exploring.

  • Where would you like to visit virtually?

South Korea! Given some of their very successful businesses such as Samsung and Hyundai, I would like to find out more about the culture that they grew up in which has nurtured their mindset to be driven by technological leadership and innovation to develop products that create change.

Starting a business

  • What types of business interest you?

Disruptive innovations that could improve productivity and convenience e.g. Spotify, Netflix, Notion

  • What plan do you have in starting a business? (list existing business)

Currently I do not have plans for starting a business yet, however, I'm exploring ideas and products that I could develop which may potentially improve productivity and convenience.
