Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
I admire businesses that are able to have a positive impact on society and the environment, especially while also leveraging on technology. I find it inspiring when companies are able to create sustainable solutions that make a difference in people's lives and inspire others to do the same. As someone who enjoys exploring and gaining new experiences, I appreciate such companies and disruptors and companies that are willing to take the risk and create something new. I am interested in businesses that places people first and are able to cater to people's needs, while at the same time providing people with new experiences and solutions. Such businesses I am interested in include: Eco-companion, Zozo, Uniqlo, etc
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
Currently, I am still exploring different industries and gaining experience that would help me to start a business. Having started my own Instagram-based jewelry store for a brief period of time, I found it to be a fun and rewarding experience and it has definitely further interested me to pursue entrepreneurship again in the future. I want to learn from working in other companies, may it be a large firm or another start up, and hopefully use those insights and knowledge to create something of my own. Additionally, I believe that travel can be a powerful tool for creating positive social and environmental impact, and I would love to explore ways I can leverage technology to make sustainable tourism more accessible and appealing to a wider audience.
