In 2011,
Sonia D’Souza-Bhavsar left a flourishing career in the PR and event management industry to move to China with her husband. It was an exciting time as digital and ecommerce were becoming big players and changing the face of the industry.
“Those were the peak years for
BAT (Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba), especially Tencent, leveraging the gaming industry,” she recalls. In 2015, Sonia moved to Singapore with her two-and-a-half-year-old son to “experience another side of an advanced nation not just moving forward digitally to bring the convenience to its people but also, the ‘human’ benefits of digitalisation in healthcare, childcare, and adult care”.
