Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
My plan in starting a business is to first get feedback, and comments from professionals from various industries. This is why I have been pitching various IT-consulting use cases such as competitions with SGTECH (formerly SiTF) and iCodeiTell pitching competition. To learn and gain more insights and look into the area for improvement. As I always find it fascinating to solve business issues with innovative technologies, and I look forward to exploring further with TSM.
