- Founded TheBikeStop ‐ a drop‐shipping ecommerce store selling bicycles, catering mainly to entry‐level cyclists- This venture was conceived when I was a JC1 student upon the dawn of the pandemic.Noticed the apparent increase in demand for bicycles ‐ many people had begun cycling on roads- Cycling began to be the best outlet for people to escape the confinement of their homes and stay active due to the covid lockdown measures- Created a minimal viable product (MVP) to test the waters on Carousell and learnt of the huge demand for bicycles- Researched on the local market for bicycles to understand and identify loopholes in the market that i could exploit in order to create a USP for my business- Continually kept track of other market players to engage in price‐competition as I understood that being a budget bicycle store, price would be the main deciding factor for potential clients- Sourced for suppliers in China and negotiated an agreement to import bicycles in bulk- Outsourced courier services to an international third party shipping company Hired a bicycle expert to assemble and tune bicycles- Solely handled the marketing, accounting and customer servicer all whilst juggling academics and training for the Singapore U23 & Menʼs Softball Team- Grossed 5 figures within the first year of operating
