#pursuitofhappiness
Follow my journey of entrepreneurship.
The marathon of discovering the best version of myself through mind, body and soul.
Turning obstacles into opportunities and adversities into action. - Gobi Krishnan, 2011 (SICCI Award Speech)
I started my business journey over 15 years ago on my dad’s kitchen table. Voted Entrepreneur of the Year by the Singapore Indian Chambers of Commerce within my first 4 years operating.
I built multi-million dollar revenues, developed subsidiaries in developing and challenging economies. It allowed me to create and manage brands, develop portfolios of a wide variety of goods and commodities globally. I was given the opportunity to advise governments and big retail with time-critical supply chains during the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, I grew up with less than average. I had days without lights at home or food on the table. I took the road less travelled. I have also made my fortune and lost it all and have restarted my quest twice in my life of entrepreneurship.
What keeps me going? It’s that #pursuitofexcellence
Always innovating, persistently disrupting.
