If somebody was thinking about starting up a company in some place in Asia, there would be no better place than Singapore claims Brijesh Pande, Managing Partner, Tembusu ICT Fund-1 & founder of Pepri Ventures in an interaction.
While the city-state has a slew of factors working for its, the city-state’s challenges include a lot of silly money chasing deals, big product companies not doing innovation here, and lack of linkages between the R&D its universities undertake and the local startup community, he adds. Pande also said he was bullish on the opportunities that Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Philippines presented in terms of consumer-tech.
