Starting a business

  • What types of business interest you?

I am interested in businesses where innovation and creativity are at the forefront as I believe that creativity will take you a long way and help you stay ahead of competitors.

  • What plans do you have in starting a business?

I aim to partner with a few undergraduates from NUS to start a digital business to serve pre-uni students. We are planning to bootstrap since we have the human resources necessary to self-build the platform. Previously, I also pitched to external panel of judges for the SMU BIG program using my former business idea. Unfortunately, my team did not get accepted in the final round and this was probably due to our lack of unique value proposition. Nevertheless, I still aspire to start my own business in the near future, starting with gaining more experience in the workforce.
