As a well-traveled Singaporean polyglot with Gujarati roots, I am a unique presence among business leaders.
I am passionate about the role that business and commerce can play to eradicate inequality and level the playing field for all. I believe the solutions lie not in the boardrooms of today's global corporations but in the young minds of the next generation of business leaders – the founders.
I am a Singaporean national with over 40 years of entrepreneurial experience, working at all levels, from sole proprietor to multinational.
As a founder, business owner, adviser, and mentor, I have a network in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India, and Asia.
Having founded, advised, and mentored over 100 ventures, I aim to inspire entrepreneurs and help them realize their dreams. Commercial and social entrepreneurs are uniquely positioned to solve today’s challenges and create a better tomorrow for the benefit of all of us. They have a vision; they have a drive.
I am supporting women founders and entrepreneurs who are rewriting the rules and reclaiming their stories. I invite you to share your journey of how you stepped into entrepreneurship.
Whether you’re just starting out or scaling new heights, your story has the power to inspire others. Through mentorship and meaningful conversations, my goal is to support you in building with clarity, confidence, and conviction.
