Hai so. Yeah, I'm from Malaysia and now I'm studying in Beijing University. Then I started my company this year and now, well, luckily now I'm with the 10 * 1000 team and it's been really, really nice event, yeah. So basically the whole premise is about solving a problem that everyone has, but no one wants to solve or no one has a good enough solution to it. So that is where we started. And once I start looking into different directions, that is where waste management came to the eye. And now that's why we are using the technologies and the inclusive technologies to enable the circular economy through case management. This one, well, I got chatted by by by by Benjamin from Zips. So he chatted to me and then he said he's an interesting thing. So once I looked into it, I said, yeah, this is actually exactly what you're trying to do, which is tech for inclusion, which is exactly what we are doing. And so I said this really aligns with our direction and so we just went for it. I would say first the team is very welcoming and yeah, someone just asked me what is going on next. I say I don't know, I'm just going to follow them because they really just they take care of everything from the experience of coming here of understanding how end group works, what is 10 * 1000, what are their goals, how we can work together in a way to collaborate forward and and everything to do with the event inclusion event as well. That was exciting. Yeah, because we saw when when we were looking at once we submitted the video. And so I literally told them I said, look, this is a very big thing. I see a lot of people submitting videos. So don't worry since it's in our direction. If it doesn't work out, we're just going to make a YouTube video out of it. And then yeah, it's good content. But we got selected and you know, one excitement to the next and then we go for the contest and after that when they announce. Nee oke, Lets go Ahead. It feels unreal but but that's it's very nice. From here, this is it's all about our common goals, right? And so 10 * 1000 tech for inclusion and for what Mako, we are creating a global waste management ecosystem by enabling the circular economy in one account. So when we take these two things and put them together into a story. So that is how I came about to when preparing for this Ted Talk style, It's about how I came to the story of. Going into my vision and how we utilize exactly what type of inclusion is really preaching which is using technology to include everyone. So the point is not just solving the problem is actually helping people be able to use it. Presenting at this conference, I would say a lot of people want to do green and sustainable things and do good for the for the community and whatnot. But there is a certain amount of work that you have to put in and dedication that shows that you are really pushing towards the direction and that is exactly what I see here. Because I'm from the green space, so everyone that wants to do something green and sustainable asked me to do certain, you know, to, to work on certain things. But this, it really pushes it beyond what I expected. In a few directions. So the first thing because 10 * 1000 has a very elaborate contact pool network. And from here what we're seeing is it really solves a lot of problems. So one of the main problems we have with our platform is how do we solve cross-border transactions and how do we solve cross-border logistics with needing a lot of permits, which just means you need a big pool of selection, which is something that it's solved and group just solved this thing for us. That's the first part. Now the second thing is about the second part is about when I was talking with, with Kyle, so we were talking about how he had degenerative content and for different things. And so I thought, look, if I want to really educate and help businesses to know how to really make sustainable things that can help the world, then it's only natural that I try to work with 10 * 1000 somehow. And, and you know, we can do something that can really benefit everyone from, from the ESG, from the circular economy standpoint. So I'll tell you what happened last night. Yesterday morning, about like 7:00, we left the hotel, went for business trip. The whole day we reach home, reach back to the hotel and everything got ready like at 9/10, 11:00 I had to do some work. I did that until like 2:30 in the morning. And then I had one hour to prepare for our speech and then 630 I woke up. So with three hours of sleep, I come here and then. I did not know that I could manage all that in three hours and prepared a script and whatnot and then come here and still have the energy to go upstage, deliver my message, and, you know, make the most of the opportunity to talk with potential partners and whoever this experience pushed the boundaries. Show me my like, what can be possible and how much I can push myself.
