Starting a business

  • What types of business interest you?
    • My interest in business lies in the fashion/e-commerce world. I would definitely love to learn how the tech scene can also bring improvements to these industries.
  • What plan do you have in starting a business?
    • I have always wanted to start my own business and be my own boss. While I do not have a concrete plan in mind, I wish to start a business within my area of interest, that can also bring happiness to others 😁
