SEBA 2021 Prospectus

YAYASAN USAHAWAN MALAYSIA A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER

Nitesh Malani PPN Founder, Yayasan Usahawan Malaysia It gives me great pleasure to extend my deepest gratitude to our partners, past awardees, sponsors and the SEBA team who continues to work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure its success. Being the founder SME and Entrepreneurs Business Award has given me the unique opportunity to not only dream but create a vision for what I think is needed amongst SMEs and Entrepreneurs. I was able to establish the values that have personal meaning to me and set upon that course. The initial years of SEBA got me questioning if that dream and vision would come to fruition.

Alas, we are proud to announce, SEBA’s 6th Edition in 2021. We are honoured to be that catalyst in promoting entrepreneurship and business through Yayasan Usahawan Malaysia. With companies these days getting too caught up in a fast-paced world, and at times neglecting self-development, we at SEBA aim to add that semblance and assist in creating that balance. By staying constantly stable, a company is doomed to weakness or perhaps face the threat of vanishing. The wise man who described science that stops for a reason or another was right when he said: “stable science is like stable ignorance”.

This fact goes beyond the boundaries of science. partaking in SEBA does break this cycle, as recognition drives the influencing leverage of a businesses. What makes SEBA unique is that while everyone is putting their best foot forward to provide quality material, the human aspect is never overlooked. At SEBA we believe that in harbouring and nurturing the enticing combination of an ambitious “raise-the-bar” mindset and incredibly warm culture. what fuels all of us to go the extra mile.
