How To Best Market Your Business In Asia
First, let me share why Asia? Praneeth Yendamuri and Zara Ingilizian quoted in their World Economic Forum article by saying that, in 2020, Asia’s GDP will overtake the GDP of the rest of the world combined. By 2030, the region is expected to contribute roughly 60% of global growth. Asia-Pacific will also be responsible for the overwhelming majority (90%) of the 2.4 billion new members of the middle class entering the global economy. The bulk of that growth will come from the developing markets of China, India and throughout South-East Asia. Read more.

Customer Is Always Right… Not By A Long Shot
Let’s have some fun. I’m betting 10 bucks that whoever in here has face clients or customers that are not only big headed but urm, also arrogant – I’m sorry, I just had to say it, and they always think they’re right, just because they’re a client. But guess what? That is not true. In fact, they are often dead wrong! Oops.
So let me say this out loud: just stop that mindset of the customer is always right. Please. Always think back why you have been hired in the first place – because they don’t have all the answers to their problems and they need your help. That’s why we agencies, vendors, and consultants are here for hire. The truth may hurt, but you need to hear this: there is a big difference between giving an A+ customer service and being a yes-man to your clients’ every request. Again I’m highlighting this: sometimes, that client of yours is wrong and I’ll tell you why. Read more.

Success At Workplace
The University of Malaya’s Convocation Festival would always be an exciting time for all graduates and their families. For the newbies it was a time of festivities with hundreds of food stalls scattered around campus versus a normal day where good food was scarce.
Back in 2000, I was voted in as an Exco for the Tamil Language Society of UM (TLSUM) and was given the task of leading two projects. One was the annual Gerai Konvo (Food Stall) where TLSUM would rent a space from the University to set up a food stall serving Indian food. This is a three to five day event that was extremely taxing, as it was fully operated and managed by the students, including the preparation of food. This was also a project that was run at a loss due to the inability of our food stall to make profits within that short period of time. So, there was no pressure on me to deliver profits, and in fact the whole Gerai Konvo could turn out bad and no one would have blamed me. Read more.

Who doesn’t dream about development? Actually, people always believe that there’s room for improvement. We want to be better, if not the best, in everything we do. But in a connected world that we are living now, does anyone care about sustainability?
Ever heard about sustainable development? This was defined in Our Common Future, also known as the Brundtland Report: “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” In common language, it’s just being mindful of the available resources that you are using. Don’t be so greedy so that the future generation will still have enough for themselves. Read more.
