CGS-CIMB, an integrated financial service provider in Asia is collaborating with the global high-impact entrepreneurship movement Endeavor Malaysia, to inspire, entertain and motivate the Malaysian entrepreneurial ecosystem through its series of ‘Thought Inspire Series’. This series of six interviews with world-class & established company owners highlighting their entrepreneurship journeys will be available to the internal network physically, but also opened to the general public virtually.

“We are glad to collaborate with Endeavor on this initiative. Through these knowledge sharing sessions, we hope that entrepreneurs can gain insights on how to grow their business and obtain tips to overcome challenges that they may face. Also, the series aims to also inspire aspiring entrepreneurs to start their own business,” said Ruzi Rani Ajith, CEO of CGS-CIMB.

As part of the partnership, CGS-CIMB has also collaborated with financial journalist Khoo Hsu Chuang (Host of Do More) to moderate our ‘Thought Series’. Chuang will be delving into the entrepreneurial journey of each speaker: the early years, business pivots, new directions, challenges and secrets behind every successful entrepreneur.

This series is aimed to benefit as many entrepreneurs in the ecosystem as possible. Entrepreneurs will not only get insights to the secret behind each success story, but those in the Endeavor Malaysia network will also be able to network with mentors and other like-minded entrepreneurs during the event. Through this collaboration, the ‘Thought Inspire Series’ will highlight some of the entrepreneurs from the Endeavor network such as Lim Chern Yuan, Group CEO of Yinson Bhd (session has passed), Fadza Anuar, CEO & Co-founder of FashionValet (session on 3^rd March), Eric Cheng, Group CEO & Co-founder of Carsome and many more.

“A lot of the fruits you see today are the efforts 2 or 3 years ago. Entrepreneurs need to be patient with growth results,” shared Lim during the first series of the Thought Inspire, held on the 20th January 2022.

“Our collaboration with CGS-CIMB aligns well with Endeavor’s mission to inspire high-impact entrepreneurs, those who dream bigger, scale faster, and pay it forward. We aim to create a multiplier effect by inspiring high-growth entrepreneurs to dream bigger, supporting and investing in them to scale faster, and providing a platform to pay it forward - creating a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem in Malaysia. There’s definitely more untold stories among the entrepreneurs here in Malaysia and we hope to unpack these secrets behind their successes in the hopes of inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs,” said Adlin Yusman, Managing Director of Endeavor Malaysia.

The Thought Inspire Series, consisting of six monthly sessions will be available live for the public on CGS-CIMB Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/cgscimbmy.
