Vimol kogar
Fun and Entertaining show broadcast from Bangkok Thailand featuring under 30's with new skillsets and ideas and innovations. We are about Youth Empowerment and peer to peer support in mentoring, educational advice and career counseling.
Prem is the founder & CEO of SZP Trading and DIGITHAI - Digitalizing Thailand.
Prem has spent more than a decade helping companies in New Zealand like LexisNexis, Fonterra Co-operative, Fletcher Building, and Watercare make better decisions with their data.
Following his return to Thailand in 2018, Prem began his entrepreneurial journey with a side hustle. Prem became the exclusive distributor of Fizzics DraftPour - an innovative F&B solution to improve the beer drinking experience for everyone via e-commerce platforms using machine learning algorithms.
Thankfully in 2020, he lost his job due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Prem used this opportunity to double down his entrepreneurial efforts and educated himself in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and coding.
Prem wanted to combine his newfound passion for digitalization with his desire to help businesses in his home country, Thailand. And so, in 2021, he launched his second venture: DIGITHAI - Digitalizing Thailand. DIGITHAI started as a partnership with Analytical Flavor System. This research-based company platform Gastrograph AI optimizes the flavor profiles for F&B products and agribusiness companies using machine learning.
Prem is delighted to share his topsy-turvy journey and how it helped shaped his purpose-driven and can-do attitude and made him achieve success and fulfillment.

Wtf Show With Vimol Kogar Feat. Naam Singh S1 E11 9th January 2021 Recruiter of the Year
Quote- Having worked for three years in recruitment, I'm still far from achieving my goals. I don't know if this is the right path for me, but that is ok. We're all finding our way. Career progression is important to some out there. Progression to learn and expand what you can offer to your company, taking on more responsibility and hopefully leaving with more experience than when you first arrived. You can move on to something different once you've had your fill. Having spoken to those seeking job changes for a multitude of reasons, be it for a higher salary, a challenging role, or escaping a toxic work environment. Due to the effects of Covid 19, contracts are frozen, projects cancelled, companies have let go able workers who have to feed themselves and their families. 2020 has been a reminder for all of us to appreciate what we have, but not to lose sight of those in need. People value employment, if you can help someone, empathy goes a long way.
