ShareThisAfter two months of rescheduling our interview, I was finally able to sit down with Vinod and chat about his career. Vinod’s one of those guys that has entrepreneurship in his DNA. We’ve spoken on a number of occasions and I recall him telling me how he just couldn’t work for someone else. He’s always wanted to be in control of his own vision and create valuable solutions to address real world problems.
He credits much of his inspiration to the founders of Nuffnang, another successful Singaporean start-up. He recalls how the founders, who are friends of his, were able to secure customers before a product was launched and generate revenue early while competing against behemoths such as Google.
Vinod’s company smartloans (www.smartloans.sg) is a loan comparison site that has recently expanded to Malaysia. Watch the interview to discover the lessons he’s learned and the sage advice he has for job-seekers.
