If Le Yi Khor had her way, a child’s natural curiosity would never be stifled in the name of efficiency — a tall ask in a world that’s come to value little else. It is how we manage children's natural sense of exploration that defines how they approach learning. Khor's Ottodot gives children that space to freely explore, support one another, and gain self-confidence, all through gameplay. “Everyone is born curious,” she believes. “The true role of education isn’t to create it, but to act as a guardian — to protect that innate curiosity from being extinguished as children grow up.” This story is part of Strictly Zillennial, a series spotlighting founders who lead with conviction, irreverence, and an instinct to question every rule they inherit.

Walking away from a stable career to pursue podcasting, Keith Yap recounts the early days of dismal numbers and mounting self-doubt. Today, on The Front Row Podcast, Yap engages a broader public — who too believe in informed discourse — in conversations on key geopolitical topics that would otherwise be locked in expert circles. “I think of my role as a sherpa of insights,” he explains, guiding experts toward “frameworks that seem obvious to them but would be revelatory to the audience”. With The Front Row Podcast, Yap’s goal isn't to impress but to prove that intellectual clarity is one’s most valuable asset in a world fraught with uncertainty.

“Asia was built on the backs of small businesses,” declares Jingjing Zhong. “Our parents and grandparents ran shops, farms, and factories that literally put food on the table and built the nations we live in today. SMEs aren’t just a sector — they’re our bloodline.” This is why she co-founded Superbench AI, as more than just a chatbot but a smart operating system designed to learn and adapt to every company’s unique workflows. It takes on the repetitive daily mundanities of running a business so the owners have the peace of mind to focus on growth. What renews her conviction every day is the human spine of her mission — the SME owners still awake at midnight, spreadsheets open, trying to keep the lights on. What she’s building is a tool not for disruption but for survival, for dignity, for endurance.

An important tension — between privacy and presence, legacy and visibility, brand and community — defines Nabill Shukry’s unique place in his family business. Cheekies Enterprise Pte Ltd, the company he and his father co-run, produces healthy frozen foods designed to reshape perceptions around convenience eating — that frozen food can be good, nutritious food. Beyond Cheekies, Nabill is extending this philosophy of nourishment into the wider community of small food businesses. “We strive to create impact in every way we can — not just through our food, but also by giving back to the community,” he says. “We actively take part in events that mentor and support home-based businesses, sharing the lessons and experiences we’ve gained along our own journey.” For Nabill, food is both a product and a medium: a way to show care, to teach patience, to prove that integrity and innovation pave the way forward.

When Hafiz Kazman abandoned the Singaporean dream for the rocky terrains of entrepreneurship, the road to success was radically rewritten. What truly was the purpose of university education? Kazman sought answers to questions universities themselves couldn’t answer. And so his company, Kinobi AI, set out to harness tech to bridge the widening gap between education and fulfilling employment. It’s slow-going, Kazman admits; the industry is punishing. Sales cycles stretch endlessly. Universities are hierarchical, risk-averse, and slow to decide. But his firm belief that universities can and should serve their learners better is unshakeable, just as his resolve to power this bold, new future of tertiary education.

Enter the era of the zillennial entrepreneurs — caught between two worlds, born into contradiction: young and old, stability and exploration, hustle and pause. Neither Millennial nor Gen Z, the zillennial inherits the best traits of each. It shows in the way they build, in the way they’re proving to the world that there is value in balance, and meaning in finding their own paths forward. Make no mistake: they aren’t rejecting ambition, just reimagining it. In slowing down, these zillennials have discovered a new kind of leadership, one defined by empathy, restraint, and purpose in the The Peak Singapore's #StrictlyZillennial 2025 series.
