Why Virtual TSM?

  • What motivates you to join TSM?


  • Where would you like to visit?

I aspire to visit tech giant companies like Google, Apple, and Tesla (to name a few) in Silicon Valley due to their remarkable impact on technology and innovation. These giants have redefined industries and pushed the boundaries of what's possible.

I would also love to visit the Y combinator headquarters. As a pioneer in startup incubation and acceleration, it has been instrumental in launching some of the most successful tech companies globally.

These visits would not only provide inspiration but also practical knowledge and networking opportunities, enriching my entrepreneurship journey.

Starting a business

  • What types of business interest you?

X business with X technology that will change the way we do things.

  • What plans do you have in starting a business?

Currently, I’m running Advisia Group (Digital) - an AI & technology solution firm and I have plans to continue running it long term. Through my internships in the technology and banking sectors, I have gained many valuable experiences and learnt a lot. Later this month, I will also be attending a few conferences in Jakarta (Tech in Asia) as well as Singapore (Tech Week) - which I believe are important in helping me get to know the technology scene better, providing me with networking opportunities, giving me insights on expanding to other markets, etc.

I currently also have plans to attend more courses outside of my curriculum (i.e. digital marketing/advertising course) to enhance my knowledge and run Advisia Group better. I am also constantly learning from my co-founders, working on areas I can improve on and growing together.

Of course in the future, I will be open to running other businesses as well but as of now, I will mainly be focusing on running Advisia Digital.
