In its 24th year, the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Malaysia programme is once again spotlighting the country’s most visionary and resilient entrepreneurs. This year’s theme, “The Shapers,” celebrates entrepreneurs who are navigating uncertainty and actively shaping the future of business in Malaysia.

On this episode of Enterprise Explores, Philip Rao, Programme Director of EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Malaysia and Partner at EY Consulting, gets into what makes a great nominee, the evolving profile of Malaysian entrepreneurs, and the impact of being recognised on a global platform like Monaco.

We break down the nomination process, key judging criteria, and how past winners have benefited, whether through business credibility, international exposure, or stronger networks. Plus, we explore the critical role entrepreneurs play in driving innovation, long-term value, and economic resilience in challenging times.

If you know a business leader who exemplifies the “never say die” spirit, now’s the time to shine a spotlight on them.
