Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
My interest lies in providing a service that would help current businesses conduct their business in a more secure / efficient manner. For example, using software solutions to manage customer relations in a more cost-effective way whilst incurring a lesser cost such by using AI to help customers with site navigation / transaction process.
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
I would want to start a tech consultation business that offers solutions based on the client's needs. I would think to use a business to business model and a team of developers and people equipped with excellent people skills to identify the issue. I was inspired by my very first internship where the basis of the company was a technological solutions providing company.
