Why Virtual TSM?
What motivates you to join TSM?
I have taken a keen interest in technology and innovation ever since taking up a Technology & World Change module back in the first year of university. This interest in technology has further piqued since embarking on my current internship with SAP. Moreover, I aspire to be entrepreneur since young. In our fast-changing world today, I believe that the technology landscape will provide abundance of opportunities for entrepreneurs. As such, I feel the need to better understand of the technology landscape both locally and globally. This TSM provides exactly the opportunity to do so.
Further, I've not participated in any global exposure program yet (exchange is cancelled!) and AY 2020/21 T2 will be my last semester in SMU. Hence, I'd appreciate the opportunity to participate in this TSM!

Starting a business
What types of business interest you?
Business which are able to leverage on digital technology to make revolutionary changes in the way of life. I'm always looking forward to change; companies which are able to disrupt and improve our way of life through technology never fails to fascinate me.
What plan do you have in starting a business?
I am working on a project to digitalise event management and it is currently in the validation and prototyping phase. I would love to leverage on the knowledge acquired through the TSM to make a breakthrough in the project.
