Anthony Tan's insights on balancing profit with positive impact are spot on. Entrepreneurs should note that integrating social responsibility early on can drive innovation, as solving real-world problems often leads to unique business opportunities that aren't obvious at first glance. Plus, it can significantly boost your brand's image and customer loyalty in the long run.

As a digital product manager I had the pleasure of using the Grab app last month when I visited Kuala Lumpur and instantly felt it was such a polished solution that was a lot more feature rich than Uber. I totally buy into his mission and vision ❤

Want to succeed in Business?
Have a rich family and copy the business model of Uber.
Tan is the grandson of a motor car distributor, took his family money, copied business model of Uber and implemented in a market close to home. There is nothing special about all that.

Forgive the capitalist stance, but another great reason for starting a social enterprise business is the heightened probability of gaining government licences/ access/ alliances that private sector companies would struggle to secure. A great competitive advantage if it's attainable. 😊

CREATE a problem to solve on the down low, and you're really on the fast track.

Did he really find a problem to solve or just took 3 things that already existed and put them together into 1 thing? He should try to same concept in Africa and see how it works out.
