Digi to bank on startups in its digital ambition

Praveen: ‘Remittance is a huge area and we would like to innovate in that space. I think the possibilities are endless for us.’

KUALA LUMPUR: Telecommunications provider Digi.com Bhd plans to become a digital services provider in five years, as part of a strategy to help develop the local startup ecosystem.

The company’s newly-appointed chief digital officer Praveen Rajan said startups could steer the path for Digi, already known for its telco business, to innovate at a faster pace and lift new products off the ground in efforts to go digital.
