Doing Business in South East Asia
During the last one month I have made couple of visits to Singapore and Malaysia to explore few business collaborations in the Performance Coaching and Strategic Consulting space. It has been quite inspiring. Met with many interesting personalities from various fields like trainers, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists etc.
The greatest thing I found was their willingness to share knowledge, which I always find lacking in India. Dr Nicholas who is the founder of Agrivo, an agri-based company with an innovative business model could raise more than $2 million within the first year of operations. However, I was amazed when he explained every minor detail about the fund raising process and how he got his company valued at various stages. It is hard to find such people in India who are willing share the entire process.
Another interesting thing I found was the magic of networking. Entrepreneurs and professionals invest their time and money for learning and networking. The ‘Money & You’ community is one such networks where a complete eco-system is being created for supporting one another to make their business and money grow.
We also need such platforms where people feel open to share their success processes with others; support one another; and create a very powerful and dynamic eco-system, which enhances overall life experience.
