Welcome to Emcom!

Welcome to Emcom!

Having been working on the set-up of the company since March of this year, it has been really exciting seeing that things are accelerating at a furious pace and that the momentum is really starting to pick up!

One of the reasons that I want to start this blog site for Emcom is to enable faster and better communications to the general public, and at the same time, it is also for me to have a chance to pen down my thoughts and probably some of the experiences that I go through in my role as the Managing Director of Emcom. I must admit that this year has been really amazing, and I am really grateful to my Mentor and Chairman for giving me this opportunity to head this enterprise. My vision for the company is for us to significantly impact the lives of people around the world and create tremendous value through cost-effective info-communications.

When I was studying in the United States for my degree, the cost of calling back to my family and loved ones was amazingly expensive! At one point, I was spending more than $500.00/mth making calls back to Singapore! And just this September, I was shocked when I was billed for more than $1,000.00! (Yeah, I was traveling around the globe and making international calls every now and then… but still…) Why does the cost of communications be so expensive!?

In Emcom, we believe that we can positively impact the financial well-being of our subscribers by providing great value and significantly lower the costs of communications internationally. And it is with this intention to create value that Emcom was formed. Personally, I will make a commitment to constantly communicate the vision, ideas, and happenings of Emcom to our friends, family and valued clients as often as possible. . I invite anyone who is excited to be a part of this amazing technological revolution to join us in our journey.

Till next time!
