Why Virtual TSM?

• What motivates you to join TSM?

To be able to understand different cultures and people to think of business ideas is interesting.
This will also pose me a great opportunity to experience and learn about how business ideas stem from the various cultures and from there, how are we able to globalize the idea.

• Where would you like to visit virtually?

I would like to visit Japan virtually as Japan in a country filled with culture and interesting innovations

Starting a business

• What types of business interest you? Technology based that will change the way we do things

I would like to start a business to introduce convenience to our daily lives.
Businesses such as Google, Samsung or XiaoMi has brought about great convenience to our daily lives.
By connecting our devices into the central hub, we can turn on various appliances with a tap on the phone screen.
On top of currently 'smart' appliances, we can use a 'smart' adapter to make appliances that are not 'smart' become 'smart'
This is the kind of business that would interest me as I appreciate the convenience brought to me.

• What plan do you have in starting a business? (list existing business)

- To understand the market i'm targeting and their needs and preferences
- Start with a small group of people
- Use them as 'testers' to understand how to improve the product.
- Expand to cater the different needs.
- One business that interest me would be FireVisor. They are very focused on what they need to do and what they want in order to grow.
However, upon their growth, they try to make solutions a generic as possible while being able to customize in different ways to suit the needs of their customers.
