With another book began another journey, yet those whose life faced disruption supported it unconditionally. Thanks to my wife and my daughters for allowing me the time to do this.
The book wouldn't have happened without Max, who kept us honest on the quality of the content, stories and the completeness of the models we created for the book.

Never have I ever thought that I would be writing a book. It has been a hard but rewarding journey. None of this would have been possible without my coauthor, colleague, mentor and friend, Arunkumar. I am forever indebted to him for his patience, kindness, friendship and guidance.
To my family – thank you, Josephine Chai, my mum, for always being the person whom I could turn to during my darkest periods. Alfie Pok, my mum's partner, for being a father figure to me when I needed it the most. My little brothers, Jason and Dickson: thank you for your care and support in my life.
We thank …
We thank all the entrepreneurs, VC investors, innovation thought leaders, academics and central bankers who contributed to this book. It was a difficult period for the whole world when we started writing this book, and they were very generous with their time. Some of them even offered to spend more time with us than initially planned and provided introductions to help us with more interviews.
We thank all these super women …
This book is a result of several amazing minds contributing selflessly to give back to the entrepreneurial community. Thanks to that spirit of giving!
