This week we are joined by Ganesh Bangah, a serial entrepreneur with a resume longer than this podcast. He built MOL Global which listed on NASDAQ and later sold to Razer and is currently focused on Commerce.Asia as well as ASX-listed Netccentric.
This was a great conversation with Ganesh where navigate the evolution from cyber cafes to selling points to gaming. We talked about acquiring Friendster, one of the earliest social media players and then listing on NASDAQ. We wrap up by focusing on his current endeavors with Commerce.Asia and what drove him to acquire control in Netccentric, an ASX-listed company.
I’d love to know what you took away from this conversation with Ganesh Bangah. If you’d like to be considered as a guest or have someone that you’d like to hear me speak to, drop me a message.
