Reflection Of Technopreneur

Ganesh Kumar Bangah

Assalamualaikum to all my readers. I would like to give an reflection about the technopreneurs. The person that I chose to be my reflection are Ganesh Kumar Bangah.

 Ganesh Kumar Bangah are  Originally from Johor Bahru, and he is one of Malaysia’s most successful technopreneurs. He is the cofounder and Group Chief Executive Officer of global online payment service provider, MOL Access Portal Sdn Bhd.

 Today MOL is one of the biggest online payment service providers in Asia with annual revenue of RM460mn while handling over 600,000 physical payment channels across 75 countries worldwide. In June 2000, Ganesh was certified by the Malaysia Book of Records as the Youngest Chief Executive Officer of a Public Listed Company in Malaysia when he listed MOL Access Portal Sdn Bhd on the MESDAQ Market of Bursa Malaysia at the age of 21.

 In 2009 he acquired Friendster Inc. a pioneer social network. Ganesh was also a top runner for the Ernst & Young Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year - Malaysia 2004, 2007 and Pua Khein Seng 2012 Awards.

Some of MOL’s main payment products include:

•   An online wallet for purchasing virtual goods, specifically for game credits and online content.
•   An online wallet for purchasing non-virtual goods like products and services from online enterprises.
•  MOLCards is a prepaid card sold at MOL distribution channels. It is used to top up MOLPoints.

Ganesh started work at age 17 in 1997 when he was still an undergraduate. He worked as a promoter in a Johor-based company, Cyberfield.  After working there for some time, Ganesh dropped out of university to focus on the company because of the potential he saw. It was a decision that he doesn’t regret but does

In the interview, he said that:

 I saw an article that the Singapore government wants to turn Singapore into a Silicon Valley. They should encourage students to drop out. 

The reflection that can be made are:

Self Independents

As we can see, he use to work as a part time promoter in a Johor based Company when he 17 years old. From this we can see that he want to be a succesfull person and don't want live in a  medium live. He try to independent his self from the age 17.
I take this as an example for my life. From this I have learn, we cannot too depends on other person. Try to independent yourself if you want to success. 

Best Strategies

Ganesh have make a decision that he does not regret which are he dropped out from university to focus on the company. He have plan on how to survive in a real world of business.

For me, this step maybe dangerous and too risky. But lets look in other side. If I want to be a success person, I have to take many risk to reach that goals. But for sure I want to finish my study. For me, study is important if want to be a success person. I take the attitude of Ganesh and try to practice in my daily life. So, I must find the best strategies for me to be a success person in my life.

Leadership

This ability are important when you want to handle the company or any organisation. Ganesh have show this ability when he able to handle the company and makes the people use his product. This because, when you can influence others toward the achievement goal, the person will put trust on you to be a leader in an organisation. 

I take this as my word encouragement. I can practice this step when at my College or at home. I can show to other that I can be leader to the others. This step really give me an insparation to be a successful person.

IT Skills

The IT skills are really important in world nowadays to find work. Acquiring a basic IT skills and being familiar with using a computer will  open up a wide range of employment opportunities and increase your marketability in the workplace.

Time Management

Behind the success of person, time management skill will play a big role. That's because, when you can handle your time management, that's means you are very discipline with yourself. Time is money, so if you do not take serious about it, for sure you will lost something big.  

This are one of the most important thing if want to be succes and getting someone trust. I try to absorb this in my life so that i can be succesful person one day. For me, people will be more confident with us if our time management are very good.

After know the background of Ganesh Kumar, I fell very proud because he really dare to take risk even he have been dropped out from the university. Now he already be a successful  technopreneur  and very famous person.

For me, to be a successful it really need a huge effort and sacrifice from now. The huge effort that I mean it are, sacrifice my time like study more than do other things and focus on it. Ganesh know how to take the chance and looked, now he already become one of the most successful person in this country.

Even you have the skills but you don’t know how to use it or grab the chance that in front you, you will not be a successful person. Ganesh kumar have take this opportunities to run a business.  Even a small business also needs the proper way to manage and know how to appreciate it.

So, my long term goals that I want to achieve are, I want to have my own business that really successful and  known all around the world. Business that I mention are networking and electronic company. This are my long term goals that I want to achieve within 8 years from now.  I know I will face many challenges to get my goals but I will accomplish this goal no matter what challenges that I will face. This long term goal are really have connection with the immediate goals and long term goals.  All this goals must have good communication skills, leadership skills and etc. But to get the long term goals, I have to get my immediate goals and short term goals first.

This are my long term goals that I want to get in the 8 years.  Ganesh have give me the inspiration to be a successful technopreneur. If compare my education level with Ganesh, I have higher education compare to Ganesh. But because of he know how to grab the opportunities , now he already become the successful technopreneur. 

To become a successful technopreneur  there are no easy ways to get it. I must plan the strategies to get it. My strategies are develop the key performance indicators which are (KPI). I must monitored on what is going on and get data related to the results.

Next, I must know people that are run this business and learn from them and make research about the business . I must have knowledge about this business. So I must go and find people that expert about this sector and learn from them.

Setting goals are easy but to get it are hard. So, if serious with the goals, put all my effort to get it and try to face the new world. Run business are about start making money. But before making money, losing the money as capital to start business are needed.
