I am an entrepreneur with years of experience in building, pivoting and sunsetting businesses.
Currently studying: Business Strategy
My businesses:
mēkā - Product design and development. We help clients design, prototype and manufacture. We work across industries and have proven to be able to build and test solutions quickly.
KBA Design - To be converted into a holdings company for ownership and investments
Things i am not involved in anymore:
RepairKaki - Connecting vehicle owners with workshops and other service providers, efficiently and affordably. (Discontinued)
Lightboard Singapore - Manufacturer and distributor of LightBoards (also known as learning glass, glass whiteboard) in Asia. (Discontinued)
3D Printing Materials Store - Online store selling 3D printers, scanners, materials, consumables and upgrades. (Discontinued)
Bridge71 - Helping international businesses explore, enter and set-up in Bangladesh. (Pivoting)
E and F Motors - Helping Singaporeans upgrade to their dream cars by providing one-stop car dealership solutions - Finance, insurance, settlements and anything else. (Sold)
Opportunities I would like to explore:
1. Artificial Intelligence for anything
2. Business brokerage - I believe there are business people out there looking to sell perfectly profitable businesses for various reasons. There is a need to help them through the sales process.
3. Distributed Manufacturing - can we build factories into containers?
4. Businesses and Startup opportunities in developing countries
I am always looking to work with other people to launch new businesses or to improve on the existing businesses. Drop me an email at shafiq@mekainnovation.com if you have any ideas.
