When I started Nuren Group, people often said, “𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨? 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭.” And it was. But that’s exactly why it worked. Focusing on mothers, families, and children across Southeast Asia allowed us to go deep - not wide. We weren’t competing for everyone’s attention; we were building trust within a highly engaged community. Here’s what the journey taught me:  • Depth matters more than breadth. In a niche, you can build products and content that solve specific problems with precision. We could focus on issues like maternal wellness, early childhood education, and parenting support in ways broader platforms never could.  • Community is currency. In parenting, word-of-mouth is the most powerful growth driver. When mothers trust your platform, they don’t just use it — they advocate for it.  • Specialisation builds authority. Over time, we became the go-to parenting tech platform in the region, which opened doors for strategic brand partnerships and even our listing on the National Stock Exchange of Australia. A niche market forces you to be laser-focused, creative with resources, and deeply customer-obsessed. And in a world full of noise, that focus is often your biggest advantage. #NurenGroup #StartupLessons #NicheMarketing #WomenInTech #ParentingTech #ASEANGrowth

For decades, access to cutting-edge healthspan solutions, from personalised nutrition plans to preventive screenings, has been limited to the top tier of earners, but that is now changing. As I shared in The Straits Times: 💭 “Longevity will no longer be a luxury item, but will be affordable to the masses.” By making longevity accessible to a broader market, we see the following take place: → Prevention pays off: Early interventions in exercise, sleep, nutrition, and stress management can delay or even reverse age-related decline. → Access drives adoption: When services are affordable, more people use them, leading to healthier populations and reduced healthcare costs. → Healthy years fuel economies: A longer healthspan means a more active workforce, greater productivity, and less strain on healthcare systems. So, when we talk about the future of longevity, our goal should be equal opportunity – making longer, healthier lives the standard, not the exception.

Since its debut in 2008, the Singapore Grand Prix has attracted over 550,000 international visitors and generated around $2 billion in incremental tourism spend. The data shows visitors are staying beyond the race to experience Singapore’s food, nightlife, and culture. Data from Singapore Tourism Board found that during race week, visitors stay almost twice as long as the average tourist, around 7 nights compared to the average 3 or 4, boosting the impact across hotels, restaurants, and cultural attractions. It’s a clear example of the ripple effect live events can have on destinations:  → Hotels report higher occupancy and premium room rates → Shopping, dining and entertainment categories all see huge growth → The destination has millions watching worldwide Singapore’s tourism sector is on the rise, with international arrivals projected to reach nearly 16 million in 2025, exceeding pre-pandemic levels. And, the Formula One race pushes growth even further. Visa data from 2024 showed the race week alone drove a 20% surge in inbound travel and a 30% increase in tourist spending in Singapore. With a contract to host F1 until 2028, the country has created a benchmark for how destinations can use live events to drive growth, extend stays, and strengthen its positioning worldwide. The stats for this year are looking promising, looking forward to seeing how it plays out this weekend - great work Melissa Ow, Kenneth Lim and the team at Singapore Tourism Board 😎 What’s the best example you’ve seen of a country turning a live event into long-term tourism growth?
