Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
1. Cybersecurity: Data breaches, leaks and security compromise are all part of our digital landscape today, necessitating stricter security measures and established incident response protocols. While existing tools provide robust functionalities, there's room for more user-friendly interfaces to facilitate the implementation and maintenance of firms' digital assets and infrastructure. Further, with threat actors constantly evolving and using AI with increasing success, businesses will need to evolve and ramp up their security measures as well, which, I feel, makes this an exciting and meaningful space to explore.
2. Sustainability: With the burgeoning focus on carbon taxes, creating integrative solutions for greener business practices is paramount to create a viable and sustainable culture of environmental preservation across organisations.
3. Gaming:
With the rise of gamification, I think this is a fertile idea space to explore, and one which can create impactful, engaging experiences.
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
I've previously ventured into startups with a couple of friends: one was focused on aiding F&B professionals during the pandemic and another was in the beauty and wellness sector. While both faced challenges, they provided invaluable insights. Currently, I'm in the midst of pivoting a carbon accounting product. I hope that the exposure gained through TSM will be able to inspire and aid me in the process of establishing relevant and impactful products and businesses.
