Anthony Tan's insights on balancing profit with positive impact are spot on. Entrepreneurs should note that integrating social responsibility early on can drive innovation, as solving real-world problems often leads to unique business opportunities that aren't obvious at first glance. Plus, it can significantly boost your brand's image and customer loyalty in the long run.

Lol exactly! “If we tax the uber wealthy 2% more we all die” **while every study shows the reason our entire generation is dying poor is because those uber wealthy found as many tax loopholes legally allowed. when it wasnt enough, lobbied govt and got not only tax cuts but subsidies back. They used to have a nominal tax rate of 90% over 400k, now trumps saying hes gonna lower it back to 5% (biden raised it back up to 15% after trump cut it for his billionare mansion buddies {did yall know epstien threw his parties with trump?}) …but they will say to be scared of the good thing that will actually help us

As a digital product manager I had the pleasure of using the Grab app last month when I visited Kuala Lumpur and instantly felt it was such a polished solution that was a lot more feature rich than Uber. I totally buy into his mission and vision ❤

Thanks for your advice, I'm a students and I was learning Management of Business. through this video it gives me the information how to set a business goal in the distant future. As you mentioned in the video about societal problem is the one of the key for the success in cooperate. i also agree with your message about bottom pyramid, nowadays, it still remain in our society gap between rich and poor, and we need to help them to encourage rise their motivation for a better life. reduce this gap could give a positive impact in our business.

Want to succeed in Business? Have a rich family and copy the business model of Uber. Tan is the grandson of a motor car distributor, took his family money, copied business model of Uber and implemented in a market close to home. There is nothing special about all that.

He is like the villain in those cartoon. He thought he is Batman but he sounds more and more like Mr. Burns in the Simpsons 😂 He now seek the divine power to protect him. What more he wants to ask for? Absolute power?

Dude is from one of the wealthiest Malaysian families, copies Uber for the South East Asia market, which is yet to make a single dollar in net profit.

Tan makes a good case here. I might consider a double bottom line business if I get the opportunity.

Forgive the capitalist stance, but another great reason for starting a social enterprise business is the heightened probability of gaining government licences/ access/ alliances that private sector companies would struggle to secure. A great competitive advantage if it's attainable. 😊

Did he really find a problem to solve or just took 3 things that already existed and put them together into 1 thing? He should try to same concept in Africa and see how it works out.

God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.
