At the Singapore FinTech Festival's Insight Forum 2024, Khai Siang Chong, Group CFO at Validus, discussed about how inclusion should go beyond just digital tools. Emphasising that small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in #developingcountries have different needs, so we should consider a variety of ways and channels to support them. Khai Siang added, "Understanding customer needs and building a business model around that are critical steps in creating a commercially #sustainable business plan.
