Description: Harprem (Prem) Doowa comes from a multigenerational, entrepreneurial family.  Two generations ago, his family immigrated to Thailand from India and began a trading business.  As the business started to grow and prosper, more family members joined in Thailand to help build that original business and branch out into other businesses.  Prem learned at an early age that reinvesting into a growing business is one of the best ways to fuel its growth, as opposed to using the profits to enhance personal consumption. Fast forward to one of the first ‘Startup Weekends’ in Bangkok, Thailand and Prem and his team conceived and began developing a social network for dog (pet) lovers.  While the idea won second place, it was all Prem needed to join the startup world and become an entrepreneur himself.  His first business, PetLoft.com actually grew into Orami.com , one of the region’s largest and most famous eCommerce businesses.  Listen to the rest of Prem’s story to learn more about his current foray into FinTech.
