How does a material-science aerospace engineer end up building a 9-figure logistics platform?

In this episode of Open For Business, we’re joined by Clarence Leong, Founder and CEO of EasyParcel—a company that has transformed the shipping process for micro-SMEs and SMEs.

Since its launch in 2014, EasyParcel has facilitated over 86 million delivery quotes and served 2.5 million customers across Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand.

Clarence shares his remarkable journey from aerospace engineering to entrepreneurship, and how EasyParcel has evolved into a regional player, integrating with e-commerce platforms and offering advanced logistics solutions.

We also explore the company’s growth strategies, key partnerships, and its plans for future expansion—including the potential for an IPO.
