Interests: When evaluating a business for investment, acquisition, or advisory, I prioritize: - Scalability and market potential: I look for businesses with scalable models and strong market demand, avoiding those with limited growth potential. - Innovation and unique value proposition: Companies with unique, market-aligned offerings stand out. I tend to avoid traditional businesses that resist modernization. - Strong, committed team: I value experienced, resilient teams with a clear growth vision. Frequent leadership changes or a lack of succession planning are red flags. - Sustainable revenue model: Financially resilient businesses with clear paths to profitability are ideal. I avoid models that rely solely on donations or lack strategic financial planning. - Adaptability to market trends: Businesses that adapt to regulatory and consumer shifts are appealing, while those resistant to change in challenging environments are less attractive.
Background: A serial entrepreneur with multiple successful exits in tech and traditional businesses. I hold a Computer Science degree from the National University of Singapore and have led product teams at Grab, giving me a strong foundation in both technology and operational leadership. My plan is to establish this franchise in Singapore regions with immense potential for STEM education growth.

Director, Business Advisory Services

Individual Buyer in Pune, India

Interests: I am an individual investor looking for the following factors in a business: 1. Strong founding team & leadership: What I look for is visionary founders with execution capabilities, industry experience, and a willingness to adapt. Red flags are ego-driven founders unwilling to take feedback or evolve. 2. Scalable business model: What I like are asset-light, tech-enabled models with high margins and low customer acquisition cost (CAC). What I dislike is manpower-intensive models with no scope for automation or scale. 3. Clear market demand & problem-solution fit: What I like is businesses solving real, validated pain points in growing or underserved markets. What I dislike is me-too products in saturated markets without any differentiation. 4. Financial health & unit economics. What I like is positive or near-positive unit economics, transparent books, strong gross margins, and sensible burn rate. What I dislike is vanity metrics, unclear revenue streams, or unsustainable cash burn. 5. Innovation & technology integration: What I like is tech-driven platforms, IoT, AI-based insights, automation, or deep-tech enablers within core functions. What I dislike is businesses ignoring digital transformation, relying purely on traditional practices. 6. Regulatory compliance & risk management: What I like is businesses that proactively manage compliance, IP, data privacy, and risk frameworks. What I dislike is regulatory blind spots or legal grey areas (e. g. unlicensed F&B kitchens, grey-market electronics). 7. Customer retention & brand loyalty: What I like is high repeat usage, strong NPS (Net Promoter Score), community-driven or D2C models with emotional connection. What I dislike is over-reliance on discounts and churn-heavy customer base.
Background: A seasoned investor with a sharp eye for opportunity and value creation, I bring a wealth of insight across high-growth sectors including Food & Beverage, Technology, Freight & Logistics, and Electronic Equipment. With a proven track record of supporting scalable ventures, I do not just invest, I partner, mentor, and propel businesses toward operational excellence and sustainable growth. I am known for hands-on mentorship approach. I actively guide founders and leadership teams in aligning business strategy with market dynamics, driving both performance and innovation. Whether it’s refining go-to-market models or optimizing operational frameworks, my involvement consistently translates into tangible results. Open-minded, forward-thinking, and easily approachable, I am always open to conversations with passionate entrepreneurs and visionary startups looking to make their mark.
