Fullerton Markets MARIO SINGH CEO & Founder, Fullerton Markets
Q Firstly, happy third anniversary to Fullerton Markets. What has the journey been like over the past three years? The journey to achieving excellence has been challenging but I’m proud of how far we’ve come despite being a relatively young company. We continue to acquire and nurture high-potential talent who bring exciting changes to Fullerton Markets and introduce disruptive solutions to our global clients. While the past three years have been rewarding, I’m even more excited for what’s to come in the years ahead. Q Is the vision you had of owning a business matched by the reality? It never quite goes the way we want. When we plot our progress path from Point A to Point B, we seldom visualise all the roadblocks. Two points have helped me on my entrepreneurial path:
i. Incorporating a “fudge factor” which basically means you have to plan for unforeseen screw-ups. Examples would be a slightly bigger budget or an extended deadline. We don’t obviously plan to fail but having a plan when failures do come helps. ii. The beauty of resilience. We all have heard, read, seen inspiring stories of entrepreneurs who just refuse to quit regardless of the failures they experience. The triumphant torch of the human spirit is the ultimate guiding light for all of us. Q You have a great new product just launched called PipProfit!. What inspired you to develop this mobile app? Given the rise of mobile-led platforms and their impact on our day-to-day lives, we were increasingly cognizant of the importance of similarly being accessible to clients and non-clients via more convenient means. The idea behind our mobile app, PipProfit!, was to provide a go-to platform that gathers all your important trading resources
