Spill The Tea: Is the Wuthering Heights casting okay?

Singapore stocks began today trading in negative territory, mirroring overnight losses in global markets. 

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) decreased 0.3 per cent to 3,573.67 points after 36.1 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have First Sponsor. The mainboard-listed property developer has raised gross proceeds of about S$244 million from its rights issue. 

Elsewhere, from more on Singapore’s factory output far exceeding economists’ median forecast in August, to Ikea testing smaller stores in China – more local and international headlines remain in focus. 

Also on deck – Micron’s latest earnings outlook, plus how OpenAI is discussing giving chief executive officer Sam Altman a 7 per cent equity stake in the company and restructuring it to become a for-profit business. 

On Market View, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian dived into the details with Terence Wong, CEO, Azure Capital.

For Singaporeans who grew up in this country, we pretty much know the ‘formula’ to succeeding in life: acing the system through good grades and then finding a decent job. This is, however, not how life has been for Workato’s CEO, Vijay Tella. 

The realities of growing up in India during the 50s and 60s shaped his nuanced outlook on how societal factors need to work hand-in-hand with a certain degree of luck for one to have a ‘decent’ life. 

Vijay has led a few start-ups to success, and he prides this streak of excellence to the workplace culture that he brings to these companies.

On R.I.C.H, Hongbin Jeong and Roshan Gidwani speaks with Vijay Tella, CEO, Workato to find out more about his perspective towards life, from the boy who grew up in hardship in India and to the CEO now running a business.
