He Left Engineering to Build a Chair Brand Worth 100 Million USD

Episode 3

What if your biggest pain became your biggest purpose?

In this episode, I sit down with Jerry, founder of Hinomi, a Singapore direct to consumer ergonomic chair brand that he built from scratch and scaled to global markets in just five years. What started as a personal struggle with severe back pain during his university days eventually led him to leave his engineering career and build a brand that is now competing with some of the biggest names in the ergonomic chair industry worldwide.

Jerry gets real about the challenges of building a physical product business, managing inventory across multiple warehouses globally, why he never took a single bank loan, and the one mistake he kept making as a founder that almost held him back from scaling.

If you are a founder, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone thinking about taking a local brand global, this episode is for you.
