SMU alumnus Prashant Dadlani hit on the idea of setting up his startup “blu” while pursuing his degree – to fill a gap in the local e-commerce scene where one can easily make an online purchase in minutes, but receiving the purchase is far less hassle-free. Blu was officially launched in October 2016, where it offers self-service pick-ups, allowing online shoppers to retrieve their purchases from a range of locations at their own convenience. With a background in business and finance, Mr Dadlani is living proof that you do not need a digital background to launch a tech-related business.
