Talk of Maldivian startups to Malaysia by SparkHub

"Huddle Malaysia" by SparkHub saw talk of Maldivian startups be discussed.

Huddle Malaysia marked SparkHub's first international event, with SparkHub saying the event was meant for Maldivian founders and professionals living in Malaysia to meet up in one place and revive the spirit of business within regional borders. Along with that, SparkHub also said that their aim is to reduce geographical obstacles for Maldivian business people and to share how businesses at an international level can be established.

As per SparkHub, Huddle is their most prominent platform for networking and storytelling. They also acknowledged that it is an opportunity for founders to establish businesses and to share their experiences, lessons and thought processes.

SparkHub said that the speeches from four founders showed expectation and the ability to adapt.

"Pluk" founder Mohamed Fauzan shared his experience in his journey in creating an AI product for the fintech industry.

Family Room co-founder Afrah spoke of the different roles he had experienced when he went from a forensic specialist to the coffee business. He spoke on building Maldives' first  specialty coffee experience and opening up the brand's "second house" in Malaysia for expansion.

Tiny App Studio founder Maail said that they have released more than 20 applications as an "indie" app developer, with how "side projects" were changed to world-class ventures via user feedback. Oviato co-founder and chef Shafiu had shared the project's design background and his work in making modern technology user friendly to the public in light of his experience in creating consumer products used by millions. He is currently working on making a digital wallet that is easy for use by the public.

SparkHub co-founder and CEO Hussain Jinan said that Huddle Malaysia has become a very important event for the organization.

"The programs, platforms and community models built by SparkHub since 2018 have been tested and proven in Maldives. Bringing Huddle out of Maldives is the first step in designing a new way for our work to help Maldivian founders in establishing businesses wherever they may be," said Jinan at the event which had more than 50 attendees.

Jinan also said that this year is a different year for SparkHub and is the year where an international Maldivian ecosystem will be established instead of working within certain borders.
