Why TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
Start-ups in this age have amazing ideas on how to deal with current world problems. With the pandemic, solving problem have become more of a challenge and it created a gap for innovative products. Having had a long interest in the field of data and IT. Having the opportunity to better understand first-hand about the experiences and challenges start-ups faced would be a huge learning opportunity for me. The gap between IT and businesses has always been there and it would be insightful to know how companies create workflow and operational strategies for their start-ups. Start-ups also have a lot of unforeseen challenges. Some of these challenges may come as a surprise despite caution planning. It would be great to hear how these entrappers overcome such challenges. Additionally, also gives me to opportunity to learn insights form a wide range of culture and experiences. To gain such an eye-opening experience are hard to come by.
- Where do you NOT want to travel for TSM?
I am open to all countries as each country would have their own set of experiences to offer.
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
- Innovative Intelligence - Many algorithms and research exist in the world. With the tech industry booming and accelerated by the pandemic, it interest me to know booming technology and why they have grown to be liked by people
- Environmental Challenges - The environment is deteriating and with so much technology out there, it interest to know what are potential possibilities that current technology can do to help the climate.
- What plan do you have in starting a business?
Starting a business during this period is going to be tough. Despite that, some technologies are booming in the area of finance and health which could be a potential start up idea. To start a business however, one would require one to also have the right set of skills and knowledge to better understand the market, scale and acquire resources. As a student, I have much to learn and see about the world. As such, I do not plan to start a business anytime soon.
Past Experiences (optional)
- List your startup experiences
I have started a retro-vintage online store on Instagram called ChainsandShackles. My brother and I worked the business from scratch, to accommodate and sell vintage collectable tees to a niche set of customers.
What keeps you ticking?
- Say something about you
I have always been a cheerful and easy-going person. I love what I do, and I am always a believer in doing something based on your passion. Since young, technology have always intrigued me, and this is what sparked my journey to take on information systems as my major. I hope to see where I will end up when I graduate. I also have always been open to experiences and because of this, I explored dance and dance has become my most serious passion up to date.
