Ly Tan Tai: A Journey from Medicine to Entrepreneurship
Ly Tan Tai‘s remarkable journey commenced during high school when he ventured into various entrepreneurial endeavors. While pursuing his medical studies, he sought practical experience and embarked on a part-time position at a beauty clinic. Starting as a customer service staff member, his dedication led to a promotion as the Marketing Manager. However, his entrepreneurial dreams kept him awake at night, and in 2017, while still a student, he boldly initiated his own business.
