About Kar Chian

Academic Year: 3
Degree: Bachelor of Science (Information Systems Management)

What motivates you to join TSM? I would like to start up a company in the future. It might or might not be a tech start-up. I would like to use this study mission to explore the option of starting a tech business and learn from the successful model of Korean entrepreneurs.
Why pick South Korea? South Korea is a founding country of many successful and world-renowned businesses pretty quickly and effective. Thus, I think it would be very useful to learn the business model of the Koreans for my future reference.

What types of business interest you? All (still exploring)
What plan do you have in starting a business? I plan to open a coffee place (Still exploring the idea. Am open to other options.) in the future when I have saved up enough money from work.

Describe your past experience (entrepreneurship, or works in start ups etc)... I have previously worked in a local start-up, Rockstar by Soon Lee. It is an independent multi-label store based in Singapore. Although I was not involved in management work, I observed how the start-up was ran. To date, it still fascinates me how the 2 founders managed to come together, form an interesting idea and made it a success with their wfforts.
