Every business has a person behind it.
OrangBiz is a free-to-read website that profiles the people who build Malaysian business: founders, corporate leaders and the icons Malaysians look up to. “Orang” means people, and people are what we write about.
The story behind the company is usually a person.
The stories behind Malaysian companies are often harder to find than the companies themselves. A good profile tells you who someone is, how they started and what they learned along the way, without the jargon.
We write for students, business owners, job seekers and anyone curious about the people who shape the Malaysian economy. This site can be read in English, Bahasa Melayu and Chinese.
