Initially, a job opportunity in Hong Kong led Sudesh, originally from Malaysia, to briefly stay in the city for his career development. The myriad of opportunities here and relatively low tax rates enticed him to alter his life plans, deciding to stay long-term in Hong Kong to establish his career, and even raising a family here.
As “The World’s Meeting Place”, Hong Kong regularly hosts various events throughout the year, where he can meet talent from around the globe to exchange ideas and explore creativity. Moreover, Hong Kong boasts world-class educational resources, providing his children with access to an international education which allows them to pursue their tertiary studies at renowned local universities and further broaden their global perspective.
