Why Virtual TSM?
What motivates you to join TSM?
Being in SIS, learning about tech is like a second nature to us, but i believe learning the business side of things is always beneficial for us and what better way to learn all these than to learn from companies themselves. Not just any other companies but companies in different areas and regions will definitely bring a different experience to the table all together.
Hearing from my seniors that TSM was both a fun and interesting learning trip, I would love to experience it for myself.
Where would you like to visit virtually?
Anywhere! Haven't been to any companies outside of Singapore so any companies is an eye opener for me
Starting a business
What types of business interest you?
Business that rely on tech to help improve their business processes or improve their customer experience
One business that I can think of is BlueSG, one of the ride sharing car apps in Singapore where users can use an app to rent an electric from from point A to point B. Best part of it, you just need your mobile phone and an ez-link card to rent it. While it seems pretty normal, I believe a lot goes on behind the app's technology from showing available cars to reserving cars to even calculating the shortest route for you to arrive so you can save a little money on the rental.
What plan do you have in starting a business?
I would like to open a bar where drinks are served through vending machines.
Why a bar? Well, Drinking is one of my favourite past times where me and my friends can gather and catch up. but while drinking is fun, its often limited by the amount of service crews present to serve. So why not have a vending machine in the bar to actually help pour the drinks instead? I drew this inspiration from a fast food chain I saw in Japan where the wait of the shop just had to place a cup in the machine and the machine will automatically pour the beer out, to perfection too.
