Klook brings travel products, other than the traditional hotels and flights, to the platform. Since it’s a startup, people have more flexibility in shaping the culture of the company, as well as how things work. Identified the gap in supply within the travel industry and found out that there are very few providers offering travel products relating to in destination activities. |
Cordex is the pioneer of AR/VR Technology in Hong Kong. Although the product can be quite costly, the company focuses on its quality in order to justify its prices and relies on word of mouth for its marketing. Started off taking a year creating a product, but as the team grew it takes about 2-3 months to create a new product.

If machines do everything, what is left for us?”. Cognizant taught me to be focus on areas of the future & technology is about creating jobs. Innovation is the key. During the Q&A session I asked the speaker who has been working at Cognizant for more than 10 years, why would he want to join a IT company even though IT was not as popular back then. He said because IT is promising and it will continue to be. That was quite a comforting statement as today, some might feel that IT is being too saturated/“crowded”. |
At Klook, value proposition to consumers is their top priority. I learnt that it is essential to craft a compelling value to distinctively differentiate Klook with its competitors. Klook captures the lifetime value of their customers through promoting attractive promotional initiatives. The company did a good job in its marketing efforts and that is what made them a billion dollar company today. |
The AR and VR applications made by Cordex Intelligence were really cool. It is amazing how a concept can be recycled into many variety of products. I was amazed with the company rapid prototyping and fast processes. The speaker also mentioned that requirement gathering stage is the most important, we have to brush up our people skills and know how translate IT terms into business terms to ensure effective communication.

Cognizant was great, the staff shared about their different streams, digital business, digital systems and digital operations. Their brownie was great too! |
Indeed a unicorn startup, I was amazed by the company's hospitality and their presentation, generating 183billion is such a short time! Will be applying to Klook when I graduate next year |
Great example of AR and VR, interesting demo and explanation of their business plans and strategy

There were many learning points from our visit, but they gave a good advice - that "we can be the CEO of our career." |
I like this quote from a slide - "Build. Disrupt. Repeat." It reflects the new way of thinking among our generation. |
Quite surprisingly, I found out that rental was not much of an issue despite them having moved for the 3rd time.

Throughout the years, there's a shift in traveller booking nature. Booking is now driven by events and activities. |
