Abstract
What are the challenges in growing a start-up? And how does an entrepreneur address these growth issues and yet overcome a difficult macroeconomic environment at the same time? What are the specific strategies to implement during harsh economic times? Malek will share his experience of being an entrepreneur trying to grow a business during two difficult economic periods, the Asian financial crisis of 1997-1998 and the current economic recession. Malek will also share his views on when is the right time to enter the realm of entrepreneurship, given the current economic environment.
