Currently, I am working on a startup called Calibrate - An online wellness platform for users to book and find practitioners such as Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Sports Massage etc. Practitioners are largely focused on services revolving around pain management, but we are looking to expand to products and wellness courses as well. Calibrate was launched this year in May/June and we are in the midst of applying for grants for future developments. We are also recently part of SMU IIE’s BIG Incubation Programme. Therefore, various forms of entrepreneurship exposure such as the TSM will definitely be useful in my entrepreneurship journey.
