On 12 December 2020, Panyapiwat Institute of Management (PIM)’s International College (IC) arranged a session called “Tech Startup” bachelor and master degree level business students. Three guest speakers representing EATLAB, EDSY, and MoneyTable were invited to share some business experience. The talks included the background of the speakers and their inventive ideas that launched their businesses, together with the current business trends and sources of inspiration.
The first session was by Dr. Chanikarn Wongviriyawong, CEO and Founder of EATLAB, a startup company that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help restaurants maximize their profits. Dr. Chanikarn shared her previous startup venture which failed, and how she responded to that difficulty by launching EATLAB. She also facilitated a workshop for the participants.
The second session was given by Mr. Parith Thiengtham, CEO of Edsy, an educational startup that focuses on an application which will improve language learners’ abilities. He shared that his inspiration is how to creatively balance the educational opportunities between higher and lower income learners. He also noted that as CEO, it is important to be knowledgeable in current business trends.
Lastly, the third session was shared by Mr. Soon Chua, CEO of MoneyTable, a Fintech startup, a revolutionizing social money platform for communities. Mr. Soon motivated the students by explaining how MoneyTable works, the idea of money-sharing, and how this will be a new trend in disruptive businesses. He emphasized on the importance of AI to develop, analyze, and utilize data sets in financial technology.
After the session, International College’s faculty and staff, led by Dr. Tang Zhi Min, Dean, International College, expressed the gratitude to the speakers.
