Founder and managing director of multifaceted company Armani Media Dato’ KK Chua keeps his eyes fixed on the prize— which explains his passion and drive.
It is hard to believe that Armani Media has only been around for five years, given the amount of output it delivered in such a short time. Not only does the company publish magazines like Property Insight and Entrepreneur Insight, it also hosts awards like the Prestigious Developers Awards (PIPDA) and the 100 Most Influential Young Entrepreneurs Awards (100 MIYE), as well as educational events and seminars all year long.
When you sit down and chat with the company’s mastermind, Dato’ KK Chua, you will immediately grasp why the company is growing at a rapid rate. Driven, ambitious and committed, Dato’ Chua stumbled into entrepreneurship after leaving a cushy corporate job, due to office politics. He then had a fair share of ups and downs, from building and selling off an art studio business to setting up his own property agency. It was the struggles he faced in the latter that paved the way for Armani Media.
“One day, it hit me, why don’t I come up with a magazine where I could interview successful investors, developers as well as property gurus to get their insights and stories?” he reflects.
