Why Virtual TSM?

  • What motivates you to join TSM?

I wish to learn more about how the culture of other country's working culture is and the experience of setting up a business there. I would also want to experience more about the culture of the country. The opportunity to be able to engage companies in other countries is not easy, which I would want to treasure this opportunity.

  • Where would you like to visit?

Tokyo: Asics, Nikon, Mizuho Bank, Sega, Yamaha, Mitsubishi, Nexon, etc

Starting a business

  • What types of business interest you?

I am always very interested in the Food and Beverages business. It is always my hobby to cook and bake. As a person would love to chill with my friends, having a good meal and drinks, I would always hang out with my friends at bars and other restaurants that gives very chill vibes. It is always very interesting to know how to owners have come up with the idea for their restaurant, the stories behind their success, why and how they opened their business.

I am also into Tech companies, I would love to know how did they get the idea and how did they started creating their business and how did they differentiate themselves from the fierce competition that right now.

  • What plans do you have in starting a business?

My plan is to earn enough money to open an eatery or bar in the future (maybe when I am in my late thirties ?). I would want to create a vibrant and chill business that everyone can just come and have a good time without putting a whole in their wallet. Preferably somewhere in a neighbourhood / heartlands area so that it is accessible to people, removing the need to travel to the central area. The idea I have right now would be to open a Burger Bar as I love burgers and how different components would actually create different experiences. I love experimenting and would want to bring this passion to next level by opening my business.
