Why Virtual TSM?

What motivates you to join TSM?

  • Excited about the opportunity provided by virtual TSM to interact and learn more about foreign start-ups and happy to work with other students to resolve a problem statement!
  • While learning IDP, I realised I enjoy the process of empathising with users, ideating, prototyping and testing. I think it’s relevant to technopreneurship to a certain extent and I find it fascinating when people can identify a problem and turn it into an opportunity by creating a start-up with their idea or solution
  • Would love to find out more about how start-ups plan, develop and scale up their business with the use of technology and how their business model allows them to stay ahead of their competitors or even monopolise the market.
