Starting a Business

What types of business interest you?

What plan do you have in starting a business?

I have ideas in starting a tutor business, fintech and for a social cause (more specifically pertaining to sustainability) but am still looking for a good business partner and also doing a lot more market research before embarking on anything.

Entrepreneurship

Went to Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden and Denmark) to do research on Sustainable Entrepreneurship.
Experience in Research, currently a Research Assistant for a PhD student in SMU (examining investors’ reactions to firms’ pre-announcements of price changes)
Interned at 2 startups, a fintech called Kashmi and an online travel magazine advertising firm called Tripzilla, both as a marketing intern.
Vice President of the Social Startup Challenge 2018

Tech

In the past I created a game app, however as I have limited knowledge on the programming front, it was incomplete. I would love to learn through a proper medium that is why I intend to take up Information Systems as my second major. It is a very practical skill to acquire.

Planning

Events planned: Animal Day 2017, Events organized by Kashmi, Harvard College in Asia Programme, SMU Social Startup Challenge, OCSP to Batam, BSM to Scandinavia (planning for the company trips)

Travel: Having experienced and interacted with the owners of the business and startups in Scandinavia, I hope to continue learning from places like the USA as well. Furthermore, US is a land of endless opportunities!
Research The effects of social phenomenas on society, The effects of advertising on consumer behaviour
TV Series: Brooklyn 99, Game of Thrones, Rick & Morty, Modern Family, Stranger Things, Riverdale.
