My Merdeka: Episode 5 - In Search of Entrepreneurship Independence

Enterprise presents a 5-part series showcasing entrepreneurs who have found their "Merdeka". In this series, we speak to entrepreneurs about their trials and tribulations, the battles they’ve faced, the blood and sweat, tears and of course money ... for their "My Merdeka" moment. On our final episode, we’re featuring Baiza Bain of Ficus Venture Capital, Hetal Gandhi of Bookyboo, and Ciinndey Wong of Rhymba Hills. They shared how their jump off the corporate cliff into entrepreneurial endeavours gave them their own freedom and independence, and what that means to them.
