Why does it take so long to repair a computer? Why does changing a battery take a week? These are the questions Jerome and his team asked themselves before embarking on Secondlifeasia - a service outlet that’s disrupting the tech-repair scene by offering same-day repairs, with a warranty attached. We speak to Jerome about competing with the big brands, servicing a B2B market, and expanding his range to include Android devices as well.
