CELLCARD LEADS THE
MARKET IN TERMS OF INNOVATION.
WE ARE PREPARING A HUGE NUMBER OF NEW
INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES READY
TO COMPLEMENT OUR DIGITAL 5G PLATFORM LAUNCH.
‘‘‘‘‘‘
www.theenterpriseworld.com 09

Cellcard brand name, followed by a
$200 million investment in 2007
for Next Generation Network
(NGN). Two years later the buy-out
of shares from Millicom saw
Cellcard become Cambodia’s only
100% locally-owned operator – a
credit that has become intrinsic to
the brand which still carries the
Proudly Khmer tagline today. More
innovations followed with the first
mobile payment platform in 2010
and the first loyalty program in
2013.
Cellcard services the full spectrum
of customer segments with digital
content services, voice, data and
flexi plans, tourist and roaming
packages and a full range of
business solutions. Cellcard has
transitioned through 2G, 3G, 4G
and is now preparing its 5G launch
by the end of 2019. As one of
Cambodia’s top three brands,
Cellcard has built its reputation on
trust and reliability and is known as
the steadfast operator with
Cambodian family values at its
core.
Setting up a strong history of
industry innovations had its own
share of challenges. Cellcard has
been in operation for 22 years and
was an innovation leader being first
to launch a number of initiatives
such as MMS, Streaming,
Callertunes and Unlimited
Downloads. The market
experienced major disruption with
new multi-national entrants in 2012
who were able to roll out 4G in
2014.
As a single-market operator – and
the only Cambodian-owned telco -
Cellcard was a late entrant for 4G,
launching in 2015 with 300 sites. It
was in early January 2017 that
Cellcard was able to complete its

the world is today highly reliant on
mobile networks for all kinds of
communications. Be it internet
services, or calling service,
telecommunication is a daily need,
and just like all the other elements,
a mobile phone and a sim-card are
a basic necessity. Digitalization is
taking over and what is important
for that is the uninterrupted internet
connection.
Operating under the name Mobitel,
the company had always been the
market leader bringing innovation
in both technology and customer
service. In 1998 Mobitel was the
first to roll out a nation-wide
network in Cambodia along with
the first SMS and Roaming
services. It was in 2005 the
company launched 3G and a range
of Value Added Services (VAS),
followed by a credit sharing
platform the following year.
CamGSM Co. Ltd was launched in
1997 in a joint venture with
Millicom International Cellular
offering customers the first prepaid
service with scratch cards.
Ian Watson, a recognized
personality within the
telecommunications community, is

of operation and a customer base of

roll-out going from 300 sites to
3000 sites in 18 months, reaching
more than 80% nation-wide
coverage.
As a result, mobile data traffic has
risen 1000% in the past two years
and the average daily usage of
mobile data has grown from
200MB to 600MB and more.
The pressure is now on network
monitization and on-going
maintenance to deal with
congestion and improving indoor
coverage with Cambodia’s rapid
rise in major construction projects.
Current flagship offers:
To gain mass appeal, Cellcard
launched Cambodia’s most
affordable data products Osja
Xchange and Big Love with the
mantra of giving affordable access
to mobile data for all Cambodians.
“Cellcard stands by its vision for a
digital lifestyle for customers as
well as a digitized economy.”
Cellcard is Proudly Khmer. Its
current strapline framing all current
communication and campaigns is
that Cellcard is for Everyone
Everywhere. This reinforces the
strategy of affordable access to
mobile data for all in Cambodia
and the company’s steps to
progress the market to an Always

The year 2017 marked the bold and
aggressive 4G LTE roll-out

result, Cellcard has increased its
customer numbers by 24% and
mobile data traffic over the network

• Preparing for 5G
In 2017 the Cambodia’s market had
a 36% increase in mobile data
connections translating to an
injection of $610 million to the
local economy. Industry experts
attribute much of that to Cellcard’s
efforts in building out its 4G
network and making mobile data
pricing affordable for everyday
Cambodian consumers.
With the 4G LTE roll-out nearing
completion, Cellcard’s sights are
firmly set on building the bridge to

5G into Cambodia is to see the new

company headed by co-founders
Getty Goh and Dr Seh Huan Kiat,
with the strategic intent of enabling
prudent investments through clever
financial technology accessible to
investors of diverse capital base
tranches. Through the use of
cutting-edge technology-based
solutions, clients are able to harness
the best of what regional financial
markets have to offer and be part of
an innovative consumer journey
available only at CoAssets.
“Being in business for six years, I
learnt that there is a high demand
for investments beyond traditional
stocks and shares. Now, my
inspiration for CoAssets is to
connect these investors to a wide
range of non-traditional investment
opportunities.”
CoAssets- The Company-
CoAssets offers the investors with
opportunities to invest in
investment opportunities, which
were customarily dominated by
accredited investors/institutional
investors. These are fundamentally
no different from the traditional
SME deals that other platforms
service. However, the main
difference is the focus sector. Given
the current market situation,
CoAssets is looking at counter-
cyclical industries. Hence, things in
low cost, entertainment (i.e.
movies) are examples of deals
investors can find on their platform.
Challenges tend to appear in
dozens when one decides to start
something new, and if it is an
enterprise in FinTech, there are no
bounds. And as Mr. Getty Goh
rightly says, “Being an
entrepreneur is never easy.” Being
an entrepreneur is akin to a
multitasking problem solver who
works in a big organisation — your
roles and responsibilities are clearly
defined. As an entrepreneur, the
“buck stops with you”. All
problems are your responsibility.
From operations, sales, training,
HR, product, etc. the list goes on.
Hierarchy proved the most
challenging to navigate in such
situations.
Clients of CoAssets comprise of
entry-level retail investors to high-
net-worth individuals and
institutions wanting to grow
shareholder value through prudent
capital enhancement. To date,
CoAssets has raised more than
S$100 million and funded projects
in more than 10 countries globally.
CoAssets has developed strong
regional partnerships to source for
diverse and unique deals which

mitigate risks as much as possible,
and can proudly claim that their
default rate was 0% in 2018 as per
MAS calculations. The company is

technologies to implement as well
to make the investment process

Investors are at the heart of
everything the company does.
Having their Alternative Wealth
Managers serve the investors in this
manner is the company’s way of
showing their sincerity to their
investors. Besides that, there are no

point and no minimum balance
required to open an account with

Creating a healthy work
environment includes monetary
incentives and exponential growth

working experience. CoAssets
practices having a flat corporate
structure to promote low power
distance between each staff.
For example, there recently was a
project which allowed retail
investors to invest in Sylvester
Stallone’s Rambo 5 movie with as
low as $5,000. There are hardly any
other wealth platforms which offer
such unique products which were
previously not widely available to
them. Who knows, maybe our
investors will one day get a chance
to invest in a Marvel film.
“In CoAssets, we aim to cope with
our competition by differentiating
ourselves through the products that
we offer.”
The CoAssets Family-
“I believe that this supports open
communication. Another way that I
try to implement is blind hiring,
and that means hiring with
diversity despite age or gender and
evaluate them based on potential
rather than circumstances.”
Apart from that, CoAssets is a very
family-oriented firm. When an
employee needs to decide between
work and family, prime focus is
always given to the family. Only
with a happy and fulfilling family
will the employees be able to
concentrate on work and do his/her
best. Admittedly, this was
something the company could not
afford to do when it first started.
However, now that CoAssets is on
a firmer financial footing, these are
The company believes in working
hard and playing hard. For
example, if the employees hit their
targets before the deadline, they are
given extra days of paid leave on
top of their annual leave. Those
additional days off can be as long
as 1-2 weeks. This also helps in
boosting the productivity of the
employees at work.
“Investors are at the heart of
everything we do”.
benefits that they can give their
employees.
This is a belief that CoAssets has
held firmly to their hearts as they
would not have been able to
achieve such remarkable
accomplishments without the
investors. Admittedly, doing what
they do is not rocket science. As
long as the company sincerely
helps their investors make money,
let them have minimal defaults and
genuinely care for them, they will
appreciate it and stick with
CoAssets.
CoAssets’ slate of accolades
include Gold Winner of 2014 OPP
Awards for Best Innovation, Top
100 Winner for the 2014 Red

Why a clear business strategy is

purpose of communication clear in
mind. You might want to simply
inform them, or persuade them for
a task, have the purpose clear and
communicate accordingly.
Thus with constantly evolving

stay at front to effectively
communicate business strategies

he city was established as
TSunda Kelapa in the fourth
century, and is today the
capital and the largest city in
Indonesia. Jakarta or Sunda Kelapa
became an important trading port
for the Sunda Kingdom. Jakarta is
today officially a province, with a
special capital region status.
Although, it is sometimes still
referred to as a city.
Nicknamed as the ‘Big Durian’,
Jakarta is the most populous island
of Java. It is also the centre of
economy, culture and politics of
Indonesia. The numbers of business
opportunities Jakarta offers are
numerous and it has attracted many
potential businessmen across the
Indonesian archipelago. Jakarta is
an alpha world city, and a seat for
the ASEAN secretariat, which has
made it an important city for
international diplomacy. Much of
the important financial institutions
like the Bank of Indonesia,
Indonesia Stock Exchange and also
the headquarters of many other
Indonesian companies and other
multinational companies are
located in the city.
Out of the ASEAN region,
Indonesia is the largest economy,
and Jakarta plays a vital role in it. It
is the economic nerve centre of the
Indonesian archipelago. The
economy of Jakarta is highly
dependent on the manufacturing
sector and other service sectors
such as the banking, trading and
financial sectors. As of the year
2018, Jakarta contributed to as
much as 17% of the GRPD (Gross
Regional Domestic Product) of
Indonesia. And in the previous
year, the economic growth of
Jakarta was 6.22%.
The cost of living in the city has
risen over the years and continues
to rise still. The land prices and
rents have shot up, the industrial
development and real estate is
concentrated in the outskirts of the
city, while commerce and trade still
occupy the centres of the city. The
property market of Jakarta is
luxurious. Knight Frank, the global
estate company, based in London
reported in 2014 that Jakarta
offered highest returns on high-end
property investments.

Some of the famous festivals
celebrated in Jakarta include the

reign, many monumental projects
were planned and initiated. Some
of these projects include the
National Monument, Istiqlal

Culture
Jakarta, being the capital of
Indonesia is a melting pot for all
different kinds of cultures. And
rightly, one can see its cultural
diversity in the type of food, the art
and festivals and so much more.
The Betawi people, who are
considered as the indigenous
community of Jakarta, represent the
culture and tradition of Indonesia.
The Betawi people represent many
different cultures, languages,
ethnics and many more together
rather than a single dominant
culture.
The other arts and culture festivals
and exhibitions include the Jakarta
International Film Festival, or also
called as the JiFFest, Djakarta
Warehouse Project, Jakarta Fashion
Week etc. Similar traditions and
varieties are seen in the cuisine of
Jakarta. The cuisine of Jakarta
features almost all the varieties of
the Indonesian food culture. The
famous is though the local Betawi
cuisine, which often reflects
various foreign cuisine traditions.
Soto Betawi is one of the most
popular local dishes in Jakarta.
Some of the other local favourites
include soto kaki, nasi uduk etc.
Many of the landmarks,
monuments and statues in Jakarta
today were built during the
Sukarno era. Sukarno- who was an
architect is said to have planned the
monuments and statues of the city.
He is said to have planned the
statues and monuments in such a

With architectural styles influenced
from the Malay, Javanese, Chinese,
and Arabic periods, Jakarta has a
very significant cityscape. The
Betawi house shows many external
influences of architecture. The
number of cultural buildings
registered has increased
significantly. The colonial buildings
and structures built during the
colonial era reflect the dominant
colonial styles. These can be
broadly divided into three periods-
The Dutch Golden Age, the
Transitional style and the Dutch
Modernism.
Jakarta is a part of roughly one-
fourth of Indonesia’s trade, and the
Indonesian Chamber of Commerce
has been actively promoting trade
in the country. The municipality of
the city also runs several markets,
which are an important factor in the
financial aid of the city. Markets
like Pasar Senen, Pasar Glodok are
some of the major retail centres.
Along with this, Jakarta also has
many malls and shopping centres.
Most of the world’s renowned
brands have their presence in the

this gap by providing technology

Nutrition and Productivity
Sure eating healthy is important
for your body, but did you know
it is as important for your mind?
A healthy diet will not only help
you to keep in check your body
parameters, but it will also help
to improve your concentration,
productivity, alertness and
problem-solving skills.
HEALTHY FOOD,
HEALTHY MIND
With work schedules so filled up,
people often have any time left
for any kind of physical activity.
This leads to obesity in most of
the people. According to
researches, people with obesity
generally face insomnia or sleep
apnea, which later affect their
daytime productivity.
PHYSICAL HEALTH
AND PRODUCTIVITY
Poor nutrition doesn't only affect
the energy levels of your brain.
But many times you must have
noticed that eating large amounts
of processed foods causes
irritability. This can increase the
risk of anxiety and depression,
making it difficult to concentrate
at work.
COGNITION
AND NUTRITION
Though most people take
productivity on a personal level,
studies have shown that it affects
globally. A poor worker health is
probably the leading cause of low
productivity worldwide. Developing
nations face the problem of
malnutrition, while developed
nations face with health problems
such as obesity and other related
problems.

he Zero Knowledge Proof
TProtocol (ZKP) is a
cryptographic method
whereby two organisations can
prove that they know a piece of
information without having to share
or expose the information to the
other party. ZKP has several
applications, especially in the
finance industry. It is particularly
useful for passwords or secrets
when undergoing any kind of
authentication. This process
ensures that the data is not being
stolen, meaning that the
communications are protected and
secure and no other person can
know what is being communicated
as nothing sensitive is being shared.
Thus, the Zero Knowledge Protocol
helps one to prove to somebody
that he/she knows a secret without
actually having to reveal the secret.
The Company
Pioneering this technology is
Sedicii Innovations, a Waterford,
Ireland based company that has
built an identity exchange where
parties can help others confirm
individual identity details without
exposing, sharing or transmitting
any of the information that they
hold.
Sedicii was founded in 2013 and
has developed and patented various
technologies based on the Zero
Knowledge Proof Protocol ;
solutions include anti-money
laundering, remote KYC biometric

say you are, is at the root of every
commercial transaction and many
social interactions. With Sedicii,
this process takes only a second
and is invisible to the end user. It
reduces fraud and helps businesses
to grow without having to worry
excessively about getting paid or
keeping their customers’ data safe.
Like all the other start up
organizations, Sedicii too was
posed with a myriad of challenges.
These challenges included the time
it took to complete tasks needed to
progress the business / product,
finding investors willing to work
with them and believe in their
product. However, one of the
biggest challenges was getting
doors and minds to open to the
potential and benefits that Sedicii
can bring to an organisation.
Having been involved in three
start-ups in the past 15 years, Rob
Leslie, CEO of Sedicii believes that
the success of any business is its
ability to find a niche in the market
place and having a clear vision on
how to get there.
Next, is to have a clear goal of
where you want to take the
business and surround yourself
with vibrant, outward thinking
advisors, investors and employees.

way always comes in handy. Sedicii’s Products and Services
Award. BBVA is the oldest and
largest FinTech Innovation
Program in the world and has
highlighted Sedicii as “the start-up
with the greatest potential to
transform the financial sector in the
next 10 years”. In tandem, Sedicii
also won the BBVA “Open Talent
FinTech for Business” award.
Previously, the company has won
many awards dating back to 2015
year on year. However, the recent
awards certainly have ramped up
the interest in Sedicii. The
realisation of the impact of the
2018 GDPR regulations has
focussed the minds of industry on
the repercussions of non-
compliance and the severe financial
penalties associated with failure to
act.
Sedicii’s ZKP (Zero Knowledge
Proof) protocol is simply unique.
It ticks all the regulatory
compliance for KYC/ AML and
privacy boxes. It is a pioneer in the
space of identity verification and
management systems where its
patented zero knowledge proof
(ZKP) protocol helps people and
businesses prove their identities in
a fully privacy preserving manner.

Earlier this year Sedicii released an
anti-money laundering product that
uses Secure Multi Party
Computation to allow two or more
banks involved in a payment
transaction to mutually compute an
AML risk score based on data that
each party contributes to the

technology easily. Another
challenge was market education at
large scale. When someone
creates/invents a new concept, it
should be coupled with market
education and awareness. This is
very challenging, and it requires
good marketing plans and strategies
and usually big investments to
spread the idea.
The first tipping point that triggered
the growth of the company was
when some major accounts
standardized on their customized
Smart rooms and Smart
Telepresence rooms solutions.
“We expect another similar
scenario driving a fast growth of
our Center of Table collaboration
systems (PTE) in addition to
growing the volumes of the
ClickShow products.”
Their Services-
SilexPro has a proven experience in
designing and integrating
customized complex full-fledged
smart conference rooms. This gives
them an edge to create advanced
solutions combining the
technologies already available in
the market and their own. Thus
SilexPro is able to integrate
advanced personalized features into
large complex environments to
create customized and unique smart
collaboration rooms.
Then with the change and evolution
of the market trends towards
smaller and more flexible huddle
rooms, SilexPro saw the need to
create a new generation of visual
collaboration endpoints. They
invested their ability to integrate
advanced personalized features into
large complex environments in
creating their unique Silex PTE
products.
“We identify the challenges and
problems faced in the market and
we foresee the trends and even
define some new trends if needed
(like the Center of Table
Collaboration one). This leads us
to create new products to enhance
the way people meet and
collaborate in this new digital
living era.”

The Silex PTE systems, will
leverage group collaboration
experience on any platform and add
the following advantages:
ii. Perfect Eye contact
The Team-
The team is the ultimate execution
arm of the leader, the most
important quality of a team is
“passion”. If the team is passionate
about what they are doing, great
things can happen! Team members
don't have to be leaders themselves,
but they must be strong believers in
what they are trying to achieve.
Without a structured team, a leader
is an orphan dreamer (without
execution).
“Thanks to the passion for what we
do, and the pride of our
accumulated achievements. We're a
small seed that is creating a
positive disruption. We hold on to
this.”

Don’t Be
Afraid
to Fail
48 October 2019

So is failure something bad? To put
it in simple words, failure is
something that does cross our paths
some or the other time in our lives.
Nobody would like to fail, but
sometimes it’s just inevitable. Of
That brings us to the important
question, what exactly is failure?
Considering the current corporate
scenario, failing simply means not
succeeding at the job you are being
paid for. So if you are failing at
something, you are probably doing
the job wrong, and no one wants it
that way. But if you fail, what do
you learn from that? These two
things go hand in hand, when you
fail at something, you always learn
something new.
s in life, similar it is in
Abusinesses- if you never
fail, you will probably
miss out on some important lessons
in life. And to think of it, what is
wrong in failing? For most, we do
it every day. From pressing the
snooze button on the alarm for
those ﬁve minutes of extra sleep, to
many other daily distractions,
failure becomes a part of our daily
lives. Although, we can all agree
that failing to get out of the bed is
not same as facing a ﬁnancial loss
in business.
So doing the same thing over and
over again will surely lead you
through a safe journey, but it won’t
lead to any breakthroughs. So don’t
worry, it is only natural to have an
occasional hiccup, or hit a dead
end, or take a wrong turn, It all
works for the best in the end!
“Our greatest glory is not in never
failing, but in rising every time we
fail.”
After all, Confucius, a renowned
Chinese philosopher has rightly
said,
course, it does not mean that you
should fail intentionally and cost
your company any kind of loss, but
it truly is inevitable, and that phase
might take you to the lows in life.
But does that mean that you are
inept or incompetent? Or does it
mean that you should resign from
the job or leave things unchanged?
Of course not! As long as your
desire to succeed is larger than your
fear of failure, it won’t bother you.
