Empowering 7 Million Learners Across Southeast Asia
From a remote village in Borneo to boardrooms across the region - this is our journey of using technology to ensure no one is left behind.
A CSR Mission That Changed Everything
Thirteen years ago, in Bario - a remote village nestled in the Kelabit Highlands of Sarawak, accessible only by small aircraft - I stood before a group of eager schoolchildren, teaching them to use Google Apps.
It was supposed to be a one-off CSR mission. But that day changed everything. I didn't just see children learning about technology. I saw potential - raw, untapped potential - hidden behind geographical boundaries and lack of access.
That was also where I met Sean, my co-founder and now best friend of over a decade. We bonded over a shared passion: using technology to uplift others.
