Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
What is not motivating about Silicon Valley! It's home to some of the world's most influential tech companies, startups, and venture capitalists. Joining a study mission in this region provides unparalleled access to the epicenter of global technological advancements. Silicon Valley is a hotbed of groundbreaking ideas, startups, and visionary entrepreneurs who have revolutionised industries. I'm driven by the prospect of immersing myself in this dynamic ecosystem, learning firsthand from successful founders, and gaining insights into the strategies that have propelled them to success. I believe that this experience will not only enrich my knowledge but also inspire and empower me to pursue my own entrepreneurial aspirations, armed with the wisdom and inspiration of Silicon Valley's finest.

Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
I am interested in online marketplaces as e-commerce behemoths, such as Amazon, Udemy and Airbnb have redefined the way we shop, eat, work and learn. Whether it be P2P, B2B or B2C, I find marketplace models and platforms to be very intriguing.
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
With the knowledge and experience I have gained from my 4 years in SMU, I hope to one day develop my own marketplace platform that has the potential to transform an industry. What this idea is exactly? I'm not so sure . Nevertheless, I am resolute in my determination to diligently pursue and manifest this aspiration into reality.
