can you recommend any good lance posts or fic to read?

oh. oh. oh boy do i have some fic recs for YOU

if anyone who sees this has other recommendations, please feel free to respond in the tags or in the replies! hope you enjoy - and welcome to lance nation!!!!

(i will try to keep it not just a strollonso fic rec list, yes they're my main but i don't want to give a biased list to the masses. this is a lance fic list, not just strollonso.)

so. without further ado...

allie's lance fic recs (in no particular order)

steak and other strange situations | lance/yuki | G | @lil-shiro

-> bet you didn't expect a rare pair ship as my first recommendation, huh? frankly i love the characterization that ann has utilized here - just a guy that wants to get to know people. simple yet effective!

gone before sunrise | lance/fernando | E | zeolyte

-> oogh this one is a real kicker. i couldn't tell you why my stomach churns while reading the middle of this piece. you can really feel for lance in this one and yes it does end happy (as most if not all of the fics in here will have in common with), but if you are okay with explicit material, this is a must read.

baby hotline (please hold me close to you) | lance/esteban/mick | T | @shovson

-> woohoo my ot3!!!! we dont get to see a lot of this pairing per se, but we get a lot of seb & lance running the iconic baby hotline, an advice service lance starts to help others with anything they need, like mick and estie once did for him. lovely cameos from multiple drivers.

press enter and send it | lance/esteban | E | gothic_sevgilim

-> HOO BABY is this one HOT. office au in which lance is the sassy trainee of esteban, a minor manager at lance's father's company. the tension in here is NUTS man

between your collar and your jaw | lance/sebastian | E | @hurricane-heatt

-> if you know me you know how much i fuck with cowboys. THEN you should by association know that i would never pass up a cowboy au. THIS is what a cowboy au should look like. passionate, yet leaves you in a cloud of dust by the side of the dirt road, knowing you'll never see this man and his steed again.

clerestory | pierre/charles with a side of lance/fernando | E | @nobrakesdown

-> woah. i thought this was a lance fic list?? this is our wildcard for the list. lance only appears in this fic as a historical figure in the wild royal mystery pierre is studying as he heals from an injury after a major crash. frankly i just wanted to add this one because it genuinely is one of my favorite fics on the site and since it vaguely has lance in it, i will be including it

never too soon | lance/george | G | @userkritaaay

-> stressed unstoppable force george meets relaxed immovable object lance. this is just lance and george suffering together after singapore 2023. delightful

you're my fucking hero: the critic's review | lance/fernando | M | me. i wrote this

-> finally, who would i be on this site without a bit of self promo. the love labor of @no00000000's wonderful dirtbag au, in which lance learns to live and pursue his own passions after a run in with a rough criminal, fernando. it is formatted as a movie review for a hypothetical movie, inspired by the essays i would write while in my history of film course years ago.

Richard Woodman

Writer who drew on his own experience at sea in a series of novels and historical works about the British merchant navy

“The end was anticlimax. We slipped home unnoticed. Britain turned no hair at our arrival, as just as she has turned no hair at our extinction.” When Richard Woodman published Voyage East in 1988, he knew that the mercantile world depicted within it, which he had joined aged 16, was gone.

The first-person novel – which never reads like fiction – describes the voyage of a cargo liner carrying goods and passengers from Liverpool to Singapore, Hong Kong, Kobe and Shanghai in the mid-1960s. There is a moment, off the coast of Borneo, when the captain sees a vessel with half a dozen grey aluminium boxes on her foredeck: “What the devil are they?” he asks the pilot. “‘They’re containers, Captain,’ the Pilot replied, and no one on the bridge heard the sentence of death pronounced upon us.”

Woodman, who has died aged 80, became the memorialist of the merchant fleets. Between 2008 and 2016 he wrote the history of the British merchant navy in five volumes, followed by A Low Set of Blackguards, a two-volume history (2016-17) of the East India Company.

His outstanding contribution came through his three second world war convoy histories: Arctic Convoys (1994), Malta Convoys (2000) and The Real Cruel Sea (2005). These are works of passion, based on experience and scrupulous research.

The loss of life among merchant seamen was proportionately greater than in any of the armed services and the recognition they received far less. From the beginning of the war a seafarer’s pay was stopped the minute his ship was sunk. “Time spent fighting for his life on a float or lifeboat was an unpaid excursion,” wrote Woodman.

While Winston Churchill acknowledged the crucial importance of the Battle of the Atlantic to national survival, it was not until 2012 that those who had served in the Arctic convoys, and had taken the highest casualties of all, were retrospectively honoured.

Born in north London, Richard was the elder son of Rosalie (nee Cann) and Douglas Woodman, a civil service administrator. Though he was far from the sea, his imagination was captured by the works of Arthur Ransome, Daniel Defoe, RM Ballantyne and Alan Villiers, and his enthusiasm nurtured by Sea Scout membership.

He was the youngest member of the Sea Scout crew that sailed the ex-German yawl Nordwind in the 1960 Tall Ships race and, despite failing all but two of his O-levels, he was accepted as an indentured apprentice with the Alfred Holt (Blue Funnel) line in 1960.

His first long trip to Australia came as a midshipman on the SS Glenarty, returning via the US: “I had been round the world before I would have been allowed inside a British pub.” Life on board ship took place in an uncompromising, all-male environment: the almost compulsory swearing, drinking and sexist banter encouraged the development of “a carapace behind which we hid our private selves”.

Woodman responded eagerly to the hands-on education in seamanship and navigation, developed his writing and sketching through the log-keeping and read his way through the excellent ships’ libraries provided by the Marine Society. He completed his four-year apprenticeship and gained his second mate’s certificate. He was, however, in love and hated saying goodbye to his girlfriend, Christine Hite, an art student, for many months at a time.

He left Blue Funnel in the mid-1960s and went to work for the Ocean Weather Service, where he discovered how vicious the North Atlantic winter weather systems could be – and how pitilessly an ex-second world war corvette would roll. Fortunately it was not long before a temporary position became available with Trinity House, the corporation charged with the maintenance of navigation marks around England, Wales and the Channel Islands.

The position became permanent; he and Christine married in 1969 and settled in Harwich, Essex, near the Trinity House east coast depot, and he served the corporation for most of the rest of his life.

The work at sea was varied, challenging, sometimes dangerous. Precise navigation, seamanship and attention to detail were essential qualities, but Woodman also found time to write. His first novel, The Eye of the Fleet, was published in 1981. This introduced a series of 14 adventures featuring the young Nathaniel Drinkwater, a hero somewhat in the Horatio Hornblower mode but bearing the unmistakable stamp of a writer who was also a sailor.

Despite his professional career being in motorised vessels, Woodman loved traditional gaff-rigged yachts, particularly his own Kestrel and then Andromeda, in which he and Christine explored the east coast rivers and beyond. The action of his nautical novels often turns on neat, seamanlike manoeuvres as well as including varied and closely observed seascapes.

His productivity was astonishing. He often wrote two or three novels a year and soon added non-fiction to his output. When he became captain of Trinity House Vessel Patricia, he achieved this by having two desks, one from which he could conduct official business, the other hidden behind a door, with a page from the work in progress always ready in the typewriter.

Meanwhile, in his job he was extremely focused, conscientious and painstaking. Although some remember him as being of the “old school”, Jill Kernick, the first woman in almost 500 years to work at sea for Trinity House, credits him with helping her break through traditional barriers in the early 80s.

In 1997 Woodman retired to write full time, but was soon elected a Younger Brother of Trinity House, and then an Elder Brother, the first time a former employee was accorded this honour. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2003 but there was no let-up in his work rate. His last completed novel, A River in Borneo (2022), harks back to 60s Indonesia but sets its final scene in a Colchester hospice.

He is survived by Christine and their children, Abigail and Edward, and grandson, Arlo.

Adapting SEO Strategies for Google's AI-Driven Search: A Guide for Web Design Services in Singapore

Change has always characterized the world of digital marketing, and for web design services in Singapore, this equates to being on top of the curve. Recent developments by Google in relation to AI have significantly and fundamentally changed the way search engines now work, which pushes web design agencies to adapt their SEO strategy. This blog will dig deep to uncover how AI influences search algorithms, successful tactics for improving SEO, and where business benefits are located within the changes.

Knowing Google's AI Search Features

Google's AI features, like BERT and MUM (Multitask Unified Model), greatly advance the precision of searches plus efficiency on how those were done. Here is what they do.

BERT: This algorithm allows Google to understand the intent of words in a query. It elevates the range of nuance used by understanding what the user wants by using conversational search, meaning users make queries much more complex and natural.

MUM: Unlike any of its peers, MUM can digest information from several formats: text, images, and video. It's allowing for the giving of deep answers to deep, long questions.

The Significance of Semantic Search

With all these AI-driven inventions, Google has now changed direction to keyword-agnostic semantic search-from focusing on intent rather than words. That means that for companies providing web design in Singapore, the following are the implications:

Knowing Your Audience Intent: Your content must be for the particular intention and needs of your customers.

Using Natural Language: Be using more conversational language for the type of content in terms of evoking a chord with algorithms from search engines.

Shift Your SEO Strategies

 1. Change to Quality Content

Quality matters in the AI age. Here is how to craft top quality content:

In-depth Articles: Write meaningful articles that have a deep say about a subject of your chosen niche, bringing real value to the readers.

Answer Questions: Using tools like Answer the Public or Google's People Also Ask to identify the most common questions in your niche, directly answer them.

2. Optimize for Featured Snippets

Featured snippets that appear on top of search results for very direct answers to your user's queries must be optimized. Here's how to do it:

Use Bullets and Lists: Structure your content with bullet points, numbered lists, and clear headings for easier reading.

Answer Questions Briefly: Add on your website short answers to frequently asked questions for maximum performance, preferably in the first 100 words.

3. Voice Search Optimization

With smart speakers and voice assistants trending, then there comes voice search optimization. Here are some strategies for you to consider:

Conversational Keywords: Use long-tail keywords and phrases just like those used in natural conversations.

Having a FAQ Section: Ensure to have a separate section for FAQs on your website that answers voice search queries.

4. UX Improvement

Google algorithms favor websites that give a good user experience. For creating user experience-friendly web design services, here's what you can do:

Mobile Optimization: Ensure that your website is mobile-friendly since more and more people access content on their smartphones.

Clear Navigation: Design intuitive navigation which helps users get to their information quickly.

Local Keywords: Apply local keywords in your content by incorporating "web design services Singapore" to attract customers in the same location.

Customer Reviews: Encourage satisfied clients to leave positive reviews on Google and others as this will help enhance your local reputation.

Schema for Local Business: You need to apply a schema for local business for better visibility in the local search.

Schema for Review: Add schema to review which shows the number of star ratings in the search and this increases the click rate.

Watch and Realign Your Strategy

Keep constantly monitoring your performance in SEO as the AI technology advances. Use the might of Google Analytics and SEMrush to track your website's performance, a user's behavior, and see what you can do differently.

KPIs to Watch:

Organic Traffic: Number of traffic from search engines

Bounce Rate: A high rate may indicate that it fails to deliver or is irrelevant to visitors.

Conversion Rate: Follow the number of visitors that take action, such as by filling out a contact form or making some kind of inquiry.

Semantic Search: Aligning Content with Intent

In the ever-evolving landscape of SEO, semantic search is becoming increasingly vital. This approach emphasizes understanding user intent and context behind search queries, rather than just focusing on keywords. If you're looking for the best SEO company Singapore to enhance your online presence, understanding semantic search can provide a competitive edge. In this blog, we’ll explore key strategies to align your content with user intent effectively.

Understanding Semantic Search

Semantic search aims to improve search engine accuracy by considering the meaning behind words and the relationships between them. This means that search engines, like Google, focus on understanding the context of queries rather than simply matching keywords. Here are some key components:

User Intent: Recognizing whether a user is looking for information, making a purchase, or seeking a specific service.

Contextual Relevance: Understanding how context affects search results, including the user’s location, search history, and preferences.

The Importance of User Intent

Aligning content with user intent is crucial for improving search rankings and enhancing user experience. Here are ways to identify and leverage user intent:

Keyword Research: Utilize tools to discover not just keywords, but also the context behind them. Look for phrases that indicate intent, such as “how to,” “best,” or “near me.”

Search Intent Types: Recognize the different types of user intent—informational, navigational, transactional, and commercial. Tailor your content accordingly.

Creating Content that Matches Intent

Once you understand user intent, the next step is to create content that addresses it effectively. Here’s how:

In-Depth Articles: Develop comprehensive content that thoroughly addresses the topic, providing valuable insights and answering potential questions users may have.

Structured Data Markup: Use schema markup to help search engines understand your content better, improving the chances of being featured in rich snippets.

Utilizing Related Keywords and Entities

Semantic search goes beyond traditional keyword optimization; it involves using related terms and entities to enhance relevance. Consider these strategies:

LSI Keywords: Incorporate Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) keywords—terms that are semantically related to your main keyword—to provide context and depth.

Topic Clusters: Organize your content into topic clusters, where a central pillar page links to various related articles. This structure helps search engines understand the relationship between your content pieces.

Optimizing for Voice Search

With the rise of voice search, aligning content with natural language queries is more important than ever. Here’s how to optimize for this trend:

Conversational Tone: Write content in a conversational tone that mirrors how people speak, making it more likely to match voice search queries.

Question-Based Content: Develop FAQs or how-to guides that address common questions users may ask using voice commands.

Enhancing User Engagement

User engagement metrics, such as bounce rate and time on page, can influence search rankings. To keep users engaged, consider the following:

Compelling Headlines: Craft attention-grabbing headlines that accurately reflect your content while enticing users to click.

Visual Content: Incorporate images, videos, and infographics to break up text and make your content more engaging.

Continuous Monitoring and Optimization

The digital landscape is constantly changing, and so are user behaviors. To stay ahead, regularly monitor and optimize your content. Here are some effective practices:

Analytics Tools: Use tools like Google Analytics and Search Console to track performance, identify areas for improvement, and understand how users interact with your content.

Feedback Mechanisms: Encourage user feedback through surveys or comments to gain insights into what content resonates with your audience.

Collaborating with an SEO Expert

Navigating the complexities of semantic search can be challenging, making it beneficial to work with the best SEO company Singapore. They can provide insights and strategies tailored to your specific needs. Consider the following when choosing an SEO partner:

Industry Experience: Look for a company with a solid understanding of semantic search and its implications for SEO.

Customized Solutions: Ensure they offer tailored strategies that align with your business goals and audience.

Conclusion

As semantic search continues to reshape the SEO landscape, aligning your content with user intent becomes increasingly crucial. By understanding the nuances of semantic search and implementing effective strategies, you can enhance your online visibility and engage your audience more effectively. Partnering with the best SEO company Singapore can further elevate your efforts, ensuring your content remains relevant and impactful in this dynamic environment. Embrace the shift towards semantic search today and watch your digital presence thrive!

Deepak Mishra, Founder of Fulcrum Ventures and longstanding entrepreneur, on how to leverage the right mindset to explore limitless possibilities

Fulcrum, as the name suggests, means a pivot, without inhibitions,” Deepak Mishra, the founder of the aptly-named Fulcrum Ventures tells me as we sit down in his Bangkok-based office for an exclusive interview in the middle of his peripatetic itinerary. “Your business can rest on our platform, and through us, do whatever you want to do: for example, if you want to do manufacturing, we will facilitate that in terms of bringing the capital. Although we are predominantly a real estate development company with interests in hospitality, and a few other areas, we continue to support businesses from a variety of industries across the board.”

Born and raised in a self-described “regular, large, middle-class family in a small town in India, where my father was a government employee and my mum was a homemaker,” Deepak is candid about the expectations for his path in life from a young age; expectations that he eventually broke free of once he’d found the right mindset. “I grew up before the liberalisation of India, so everyone used to believe that private enterprises sucked you dry, and there were no employment benefits with them,” he revealed. “My father always wanted me to study hard and get a government job. Academically, I was good but I was not the best, but the expectation at the time was also that you had to score superlatively. My parents never questioned my intelligence or my abilities, but I didn’t like studying so much, and I didn’t want to sit behind a desk from 9 to 5 every day. Fighting that mindset was one of the biggest challenges I’ve faced.”

And it is through this continuous improvement of his mindset, and with the right support and the right teams, Deepak reveals, that he is where he is today. After an undergraduate in the science stream, he took up a Master’s in finance in India. “I got the opportunity to work for Citibank in India, in the corporate banking side,” he tells me. But even then, he recalls with a laugh, his parents weren’t convinced with his corporate direction until he got his first company car. “Managing their expectations of me made me a good manager in the end,” he says ruefully.

“I moved up the curve swiftly in terms of my understanding and learning. It was good timing in India, and businesses were growing.” Soon after, he received – and took – an opportunity to move to Dubai to work for a European institution. Again, he reveals, “time and God were very kind, and I did well. That is when I got that exposure that was very multi-cultural in nature.”

And this, he reveals, was where his second biggest challenge revealed itself: leaving a secure, highly-lucrative, and senior role in a tax-free jurisdiction to taking the plunge and becoming an entrepreneur. “It was tough,” he reveals. “Going from doing what I understood and loved, which was financial services, and transitioning into a brick-and-mortar business, putting in my own capital, sitting with institutions to borrow on my balance sheet, which I used to do for other people – the entire mindset shift was a challenge. When I sat for my first loan, I remember thinking, ‘I used to write USD 150 million checks to institutions and now here I am, on my knees, for a USD 5 million loan!’ Your ego gets bruised.”

Nevertheless, after his perseverance and investing in the right people, Deepak now heads a business that has a presence around the world: from Switzerland to the UK, Dubai, India, Singapore, Thailand, and soon, Vietnam and Indonesia. “In fact, in the next month or so in Thailand alone, we will have close to 18 live housing projects,” he confides with no small amount of pride and excitement. “In the end, my biggest achievements have stemmed from my biggest challenges. They made me who I am.”

He talked to Masala further about how he built his various businesses from the ground up as an entrepreneur, what his corporate background has taught him in life and business, and how he’s continued to overcome challenges over the years with the right attitude and perspective.

Tell us a little more about how your decades of experience in the corporate financial services space shaped who you are today. Although I had done some internships and even ran a business in my late teens, starting my career with Citibank after my Master’s was a very different environment. The training was totally different and very process-driven; it changed me as an individual in terms of how to approach everything. You were basically in a pressure cooker all the time, but the fact of the matter is, it trained me very well to understand the processes, abide by those processes, and learn to be an industry leader.

After 4-5 years there, I’d built distribution streams, reasonably-sized businesses for the institution, and even created noteworthy managers under me. With that skill set, I decided to look for something a little more exciting. The fact of the matter is, within financial services, while you are evaluating a company, meeting the key stakeholders of a business, there is a lot of grey matter enhancement that you can do when learning about each of those industries. When you meet mid-tier industry guys, who have walked the tightrope to get to where they are, there is a lot of learning involved that is outside of their balance sheets. You are able to extract through the quantitative and qualitative aspects of their business, and this gives you access. And obviously, that broadens the horizons.

Because I’d proved to myself and to the institution that I’d grown a lot, I got an opportunity to move to Dubai and work for a European institution, where I was able to work with many large families from Europe and elsewhere. It helped me network myself and present my ability and skill sets to a larger audience. While no one is perfect, what I offered was my commitment and hard work, and being on the ball 24/7. It helped me network well with future clients.

And how did those corporate experiences eventually push you to take, as you mentioned, one of the biggest risks of your life and start your own ventures?

I loved financial risk management and investment advisory because of the excitement inherent in it. The opportunity changes every six hours. You are agnostic – you look at the auto industry, FMCGs; you’re free to walk in any direction. It’s very exciting, and challenging to learn new things within various industries. At that time, 20 years back, not all information was at your fingertips, so you had to really go and dig, and that entire process helped you incubate a lot of ideas. You’re constantly thinking, at some point in time when I have the opportunity, the cash flow, the back-up, and the time, I’ll put these ideas into practice.

But I couldn’t have done it without that initial push to get me to the right mindset. My wife has been my biggest support. We’d met in India, and she also had a great, high-powered career in a large manufacturing set up, and she gave it up to move to Dubai with me. One day, I remember coming back from a business trip and telling my wife, “I’m tired of working for someone else, but I’m scared to start something on my own.” She said, “You’re good enough to find another job if it doesn’t work out. But this is the time to give it a shot.” And thus, it happened.

How did your first entrepreneurial venture start out? This was in 2009, and I started with financial services again, because that was what I knew. I did a lot of activity in buying distressed debt, a lot of capital market business, IPO and pre-IPO transactions. This was my first company, Greenfield Advisory, which had a capital market license from the monetary authority of Singapore, but incubated in Dubai. That was the transition phase when I moved from Dubai to Singapore.

However, I’d always fancied entering into real estate, and I was inspired by everyone I saw entering new industries that weren’t in their field of expertise in Dubai. I didn’t have the wherewithal to enter manufacturing, so I bought some land back in India in 2010, and started building an apartment. I figured, in the worst-case scenario, I’ll fail. Nevertheless, I believed in my ability to sell something and build the right team. We started the first apartment building in Lucknow, my home town, and that’s when I started my real estate company, which now has numerous investments outside of India – in Thailand, and beyond.

I first came to Thailand looking for opportunities in 2011, and in 2012, I started investing in real estate here. I was building a PNL-driven business, where I’d invest in projects, and make a good return on equity. However, by 2012, I realised that not everything I touched was going to turn into gold. I needed to create value for myself, and everyone associated with me. That is when the idea of curating brands came from. In 2012, we began to have a separate brand in every country for the kind of business that we would like to be in. For instance, here in Thailand, we’ve invested in affordable housing; around THB 2 million town houses in the Bang Na area. We’re building 950 of those right now, 190 villas are already built and 100 already sold. It’s different in each country.

How did you decide what the unique opportunities are in each country? When I wanted to get into housing, here in Thailand, we looked at the entire landscape. In 2013-2014, the market was crowded with condominiums and prices were going through the roof. A lot of foreigners were coming here and pumping money like there was no tomorrow. This was not the play for me; I was not so deep-pocketed. I wanted to run a low debt on the balance sheet, as I didn’t want to run high leverage to run the business. Looking at the entire product spectrum in the Thai real estate market, we decided to enter at the bottom of the pyramid: town houses, semi-detached and detached houses, which you call low-cost villas.

Firstly, I had to evaluate, how stable is the business? The answer is, very stable because a foreigner cannot buy this – so you’re playing with local supply and demand. I think we are the only foreign company that is in this space. While the COVID-19 pandemic delayed a lot of processes in Southeast Asia, everything has been reactivated in the last 6-9 months, which is very exciting. We’ve curated a brand called Panara here in Thailand, for homes THB 6.5 million and above; and another called Anona which is for houses from THB 1.5 million to THB 5 million. We currently have numerous projects in Bang Na, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Ekkamai, Sukhumvit Soi 11, Samui, and Phuket, and we are in the approval stage for two community malls in the Bang Na area, with a third one entering the approval stage soon.

Meanwhile, in India, we are continuing to focus on high-rise condominiums across cities. We’ve curated a brand called One Oak (one of a kind) for low-rise and high-rise condominiums in India, and the low-rise projects that are currently under discussion in Thailand will also be developed under One Oak.

We’re also developing a myriad of projects around the world: we’ve just greenlit a 117-key hotel in the UK, and Dubai has been an active churn, while in Singapore, we’ve bought a lot of real estate, commercial and residential, although we’re not developing them there. We’re currently focused on higher-growth markets: Thailand, India, soon Indonesia and Vietnam, and we’re hoping to explore Nepal soon.

What unites all these properties? What is your core vision? I want to create a business which creates value for our stakeholders, which builds a reputation of not being the largest or top-tier player, but being a boutique, need-driven provider. I don’t want a cookie-cutter model; each one is very unique. Everyone loves a Ferrari, but a 70-year-old man with back problems will never be able to get up if he sits in one! One size doesn’t fit all. We do a lot of research – for example, in Thailand, it took us about two months of research to fill up around 500 questionnaires in one area, asking people what they need in a house, to customise our product accordingly. The end goal is to always deliver quality over quantity, and to treat people the same whether you’re buying a THB 2 million home or a THB 12 million home.

This is how we stand out, and our after-sales service is state of the art. Of course, there are flawed processes, but you will be heard in this system, and if it gets to that stage, I will personally address any issues that escalate. In order do all of this, what is required is great people, because we believe that although someone else might have a similar vision, the execution will be different and that all boils down to your people, and trust, discipline, and hard work.

You must have had your fair share of challenges and failures as a self-made man. Can you tell us a little about how you’ve overcome them, and what you attribute your current success to?

Developing a business is a complex job, and we’ve had our share of struggles and challenges. Identifying a problem which needs to be solved, idea generation, is only the beginning. An organisation is built on people – the right people to do the right jobs. For example, I can set up a factory in a Tier-2 town and start manufacturing phones, but for the phone to reach the consumer and for them to be satisfied and make sure the next phone they buy is also yours, it’s a long road.

During the course of building the business, we’ve lost opportunities, money, and good-quality resources, but we’ve been able to incubate brilliant ideas and curate good brands, and we’ve been able to cultivate good leadership. We’ve managed to pick ourselves up because of our fighting spirit. There’s a massive population in India, so it’s very competitive and very cutthroat. That competitive spirit has given us the ability to bounce back.

As I’ve said, mindset is paramount. I was entrepreneurial from the beginning, but I needed a push, which came from my wife. I have a high-risk appetite, and I have the ability to process a lot of information, and multi-task. I’m a workaholic; I can work 24/7 and I love it. I hate getting stuck in problems, but I love solving them. You’ll also need mentors along your journey. I still meet some of my mentors very often; we have a great relationship over 20 years.

An example of how I dealt with issues was during the pandemic. Business was shattered here in 2021, and the management team didn’t know what to do. I came to Bangkok – in fact, I drove up after flying in for the Phuket sandbox – and my CEO and I used to park ourselves at the site from 7am until the night curfew at the time, and work like a foreman. I was literally in their shoes, walking in the concrete. This was to make sure that they knew that I would support them, and thus encourage them not to drop the ball.

And instead of shying away from situations, or going into debt, we are not afraid to use our own resources so we remain debt-free. Most of our businesses are debt free or have very low debt, and even during tough times, by the grace of God, we didn’t implement any pay cuts, and we didn’t default on any operational creditor or bank.

You’re a self-confessed workaholic who loves to work 24/7, but even so, how do you balance all your entrepreneurial ventures? I’m out of Singapore almost 24 days, spending around 5-6 days with my family in a month! Because the business is still nascent, I’m currently spending a lot of time on the road, investing time into businesses and with management. I love it, but I know it’s a sacrifice for my family. But I think they appreciate what I do, and they’re very understanding.

I make sure, and my management teams also make sure, that I’m dovetailed into any and every problematic situation to get a bird’s eye view. At the end of the day, I think the beauty is that my India CEO is my senior from Citi, my Singapore CEO is my colleague from Dubai. They consider me to be the ultimate problem-solver for them, because they’ve seen me grow. We have that trust, and that bond.

Tell us about your biggest support and inspirations over the years.

My parents. My father worked 16-17 hours a day, to make sure that we had a roof over our heads, food on the table every day, and that he could pay our school fees. Both my father and mother were my biggest inspirations, and their support is unconditional.

My wife of course, has sacrificed so much over the years – we’re also a big family; I have four kids. While I have a bird’s eye view and provide what I can, she’s doing it all on her own – parent/teacher meetings, and so on. She’s my backbone. Whenever I’m slightly disoriented or lost, she’s the one who tells me, you can do it. Don’t give up. She realises and understands that I’m in love with my work.

What new horizons do you hope to explore in the future, both personally and professionally? Personally, I would like to spend more time with the family. My older girls have a laundry list of places they want to visit in the next three years before the older one goes to uni, so I want to do at least three holidays with them this year.

On the professional front, I want to be able to retain good talent, continue to have the same ethos that we’ve created so far, and try to open Indonesia and Vietnam before the end of the year. We are looking at some very specialised real-estate development, like software parks, in these countries, and I’ve incubated a few F&B brands in India as well that we’re bringing here. We have plans to get into multi-brand retail, but it’s still in the finalisation stage.

Any advice for aspiring entrepreneurs? Never be scared; take the plunge. You don’t have to be Sir Einstein to achieve anything, what’s critical is discipline, hard work and commitment. A lot of people who are not that talented are able to cover the ground with their hard work, and I have done that. Focus on your health – a healthy body and a healthy mind will help you think the way you should as an entrepreneur. And if you fail, it’s ok. I’ve done that too. Pick yourself up, but never give up.
