how we get things done

Ideate & Build

Our ventures are born and bred in-house. We watch trends, or simply copy-and-replicate what has worked in other markets, then we add local flavors, and execute.

Grow & Scale

We rapidly build out the idea and throw it out to the market, then use tested growth hacks to see if the idea will gain traction or not. If the venture gains traction, we scale it.

Partner & Acquire

For some ventures, we will partner with others, or acquire businesses or technology that would fit into our ecosystem. We also partner with external capital for acquisitions.
