[Post 1076] NUS Graduate To Tyre Mechanic: "You Wasted Your Parents' Money!" | On The Red Dot


Summary

Cordillia Tan, a linguistics Dean’s List graduate from NUS, never imagined she’d trade office meetings In Shenton Way for tyres and rims. Just six months into her venture capital job, she was forced to step into the workshop, learning to fix cars and handling the physical demands of hands-on work. What began as a duty to help her family’s ailing business quickly becomes a trial by fire. Faced with nearly half a million in debt clocked up from the business, Cordillia juggles supplier negotiations, customer service, packing orders, and even hands-on repairs, all while navigating the pressures of keeping the workshop afloat. Through creativity and perseverance—using social media to attract customers and paving new roads to improve the business—Cordillia starts to see hope in the future.
