GraphTik watches are a unique timepiece running on a high quality Seiko Morioka quartz movement and are available online, ships worldwide and from partner merchants such as Zalora and Shopee.All our watches come with a comprehensive service warranty and high quality Morioka timepiece movements.My involvement with GraphTik came from my passion for watches of all grades. I served as a business mentor / advisor and the team brought me on as a co-founder to lend my experience from a corporate standpoint.I helped plan and oversee the execution of several initiatives which have facilitated GTM in different regions, increased our product offering and cemented strategic partnerships to boost growth.KPIs for sales targets and our eCommerce strategy were set by me and I plotted the roadmap for each function to execute making the targets achievable over a short period of time. I also analyzed our entire roadmap and was able to reduce overheads by 40% making the business even more profitable.I shifted the focus from individually customizable timepieces to working with designers around the world and offering them royalties matching the "Threadless" t-shirt model. This provided us with the scale and awareness tapping on the individual designers' existing following.Another initiative I mooted was to do bulk customised orders catering to B2B corporate partners and events. One of the largest orders received was for our watches to be part of the official concert merchandise for an A-list artiste in Singapore, Malaysia and China.I have since exited the company to focus on different projects.

Dime is a mobile application that was formulated to connect nightlife partygoers with one another in a social format while incorporating eCommerce functionality. The hyper-focused location based social eCommerce platform allows users to meet new people in the same club or bar, chat with a messaging feature and order, pay and send drinks to one another.By incorporating a payment gateway with the location-based platform, we were creating a new revenue stream for nightlife locations that patrons would not normally spend on, i.e. "Pick up drinks", particularly in Asia where people are more reserved and introverted.Drinks are collected directly from the bartenders which maintains the "integrity" of the drinks instead of having received a potentially compromised drink with a date-rape drug, for instance.The ordering and payment system as well as the UI/UX was planned to optimise the bar's workflow, process payments and fulfill orders faster resulting in an overall higher possible turnover rate for merchants.Fully integrated with merchant POS systems allow merchants to track ROI as well as to speed up accounting and closing settlements. This also allows users to track and view their own orders and payments.Our initial idea was to provide our app serving as SaaS for merchants to use with only minimal commissions on payment transactions as well as advertising and we have since received an offer from an F&B group to buy the platform and to assist them to turn it into a white label solution that they can integrate with their existing self-ordering systems.
