Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I am excited by the challenges I will get to tackle when exploring entrepreneurship and technology. With a keen interest in technology and how it comes into play in entrepreneurship makes me curious about how these two can come together. As an intern in a tech startup, I got to witness how the team hustle and expand continuously in this competitive landscape. Motivated by their drive, I seek to further explore this and learn more about it takes to be a technopreneur. I also hope to meet like minded individuals and bounce off ideas with them. I believe this will be a great opportunity to learn and grow together with my peers.
- Where would you like to visit?
Silicon Valley and Indonesia. Where all the great minds and startups are!
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
Fintech (Digital payments), Ecommerce
- What plan do you have in starting a business?
I would like to explore starting a business in one-click payments. There has been some success for this in America region, but is still nascent in Asia. I believe with the exponential adoption of e-payments in South East Asia, there is much potential for this business to grow. While I do not have concrete plans to start this just yet, this is something I will keep as an open option. There is no hard and fast rule on what should constitute a business so if anything strikes me and I see an opportunity in it I will definitely go for it.
