Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
- Where would you like to visit virtually?
Though many of us feel passionately about technology, its advancements, and how it works under the hood, it is ultimately just a tool. What truly excites me about technology is how it is actually used, and that is what I hope to gain a greater appreciation of through TSM. Historically, enterprising technopreneurs have always been a key driving force in making technology “work” for us, and this is what I hope to see beyond the confines of our horseshoe-shaped seminar rooms through TSM.
I see a virtual TSM as a great opportunity, and not a constraint, because it means we have many more options available to us. Examples of places I would be excited to visit virtually in Asia alone would be:
- China: an ever-evolving competitor to the US every year, and the country my father worked in for about 10 years as an IT professional
- India: another mega player where technopreneurs and unicorns are being made, India is already a key rival to the US and China
- Vietnam: the place some people are calling China 2.0, I feel like Vietnam is sometimes overlooked by us students as an up and coming hub for technopreneurship
- Korea: the popular choice but for good reason, Korea (like Singapore) has advanced greatly in less than a century, and is a major source of innovation
- Indonesia: another source of technopreneurs and unicorns, Indonesia has a breadth of new firms popping up that I personally find exciting for the SEA region
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
- What plan do you have in starting a business? (list existing business)
Though it might be boring at face value, the types of businesses I appreciate learning about the most are the ones that simply "make sense". When a business can be shown to be sensible through the lens of its finances, product/service offering, environmental impact, human impact, etc all in total, those are the businesses I appreciate learning about the most. Especially in technology, there is often a temptation to simply be at the cutting edge for its own sake or, worse, jumping onto buzzwords without purpose or strategic intent. Considering this, I place a great deal of value in seeing the firms which manage to show balance, shrewdness, and restraint in its approach where appropriate -- even better if it is making money while creating a positive impact in its community through the use of technology and its business operations.

What keeps you ticking?
Some of my favourite things in life are:
- Listening to and learning from others, the people who have "been there, done that".
- Having the privilege to tell stories and share about my experiences, so I can add value to the people around me.
- Discovering solutions, and avoid fixating on problems.
- Taking some time to reflect and treasure the little moments, especially with the people we care most about. Because *spoiler alert* everyone (even technologies) all die some day.
