Why TSM?

  • What motivates you to join TSM?

I feel that with a study mission, there are lots of things out there for me to explore and learn from people of different background outside of Singapore context. It is inspiring and definitely worthwhile hearing from their perspective on their technopreneurship journey. Being a person who has an entrepreneur mindset, I always seek for rare opportunities like TSM to actively engage and expand my innovative mindset. Through TSM, I really hope to learn more about different companies ways of adapting and innovating towards the constant changes in today’s society (i.e. in this Covid-19 situation)

  • Where do you NOT want to travel for TSM?

There is no one country that I do not wish to travel as different countries have their own ups and downs and it is worthy to hear from them. Therefore, I definitely look forward to TSM in any countries that we are going.

Starting a business

  • What types of business interest you?

Businesses that interest me the most is definitely in the realm of e-Commerce and Sustainability as we can see many companies are slowly transiting towards online platform as a way to continue their business from traditional platforms (i.e. Physical place) and also ensuring that the things they do are sustainable in the long run.

  • What plan do you have in starting a business?

As for myself, I am currently doing a side business while studying. In this journey, I would say it was not easy to begin with. However, I felt that if I do not start now, I am probably just delaying my future plans for myself. Hence, with knowing the “WHY” in me for doing this business, I am still continuing my journey in the side business

What keeps you ticking?

  • What truly keeps me ticking is my “WHY” and the drive for wanting to learn and connect with like-minded people to grow myself as a leader as well as an entrepreneur. From there, I hope to be able to give back what was taught to me to others and help them grow to become someone like me too!
