Nadhir Ashafiq's Linkedin Analytics

Hi there. My name is Nadhir, an entrepreneur from Kuala Lumpur. My love for entrepreneurship and finance began with an online pet website I got addicted to when I was 11 called Neopets. I learned basic concepts of retail - how to buy inventories low and resell them at a profit on this website. It was Neopets too that taught me the fundamentals of stock market. As a 11 year old, I found it absolutely fascinating and went on to become a millionaire (in the game). My love for finance drove me to complete my Master's degree in Economics & Finance and went on to work for CIMB Investment Bank. They say you have to grab opportunities as they come along, and that was what I did when I jumped to a logistics company for a higher position in a regional logistics company. I have since left the company and co-founded TheLorry.com, a fast and easy way to book lorries, vans and 4x4 in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. Being in a startup allows you to experience extreme emotional highs and lows - there are no dull moments. To see your product being used to solve problems of strangers whom you've never met - that is the ultimate form of satisfaction of running a startup.
