Meet some dynamic local entrepreneurs Satya Gurnani from iWant.com
YB Rai from Uncle Russ
Tung Chung resident Satya Gurnani brings us a new way to buy and sell online. What makes iWant.com different from all the other sites out there is that it puts the buyer in control. “This isn’t about sellers pushing their products, it’s about people saying what they want and the sellers coming to them with offers,” Satya says. info@iwant.com, www.iwant.com.
