The entrepreneurial route in China
Last week, our school hosted a panel on the mobile internet and my takeaway from this session was that the Android- Google’s mobile operating system – is here to stay. Read more
Insights into entrepreneurship and social media
In a blink of an eye, I’m now already 40 per cent finished with my programme. P3 has started and I think it’ll prove to be the best period yet. Read more
Focusing on communication
