00:00:00.318 --> 00:00:05.318
(gentle music)
(creatures chirping)

2
00:00:05.550 --> 00:00:07.620
<v ->Mandai X has been conceptualized</v>

3
00:00:07.620 --> 00:00:10.530
to scale our growth and impact urgently.

4
00:00:10.530 --> 00:00:12.870
Mandai X is the growth and impact accelerator arm

5
00:00:12.870 --> 00:00:14.370
of Mandai Wildlife Group,

6
00:00:14.370 --> 00:00:16.980
where we aim to build global ventures

7
00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:20.430
that will help us reach 1 billion people.

8
00:00:20.430 --> 00:00:24.360
We do need a lot more people than the visitors to Mandai

9
00:00:24.360 --> 00:00:26.370
to join us on this journey

10
00:00:26.370 --> 00:00:28.888
to contribute towards a sustainable future.

11
00:00:28.888 --> 00:00:31.471
(gentle music)

12
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:36.010
<v ->What I find most meaningful is the purpose of Mandai X,</v>

13
00:00:36.010 --> 00:00:38.280
which is creating an opportunity

14
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:40.623
for humans and nature to thrive together.

15
00:00:41.490 --> 00:00:42.840
The purpose is very aligned

16
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:44.280
with what we're trying to achieve

17
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:46.110
as we work together with corporate partners

18
00:00:46.110 --> 00:00:47.760
to drive impact at scale.

19
00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:49.440
<v ->The journey over the last two years working</v>

20
00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:51.660
with BCG X has been incredible.

21
00:00:51.660 --> 00:00:54.510
We've taken five products from ideation

22
00:00:54.510 --> 00:00:58.020
to concept validation to launching and go to market

23
00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:00.390
with real people, real paying customers

24
00:01:00.390 --> 00:01:03.840
using the methodology that's been proven by BCG,

25
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.120
covering 14 dimensions of risk

26
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.390
from desirability, feasibility, and viability.

27
00:01:09.390 --> 00:01:14.220
One thing I truly adore and love about the partnership is

28
00:01:14.220 --> 00:01:15.660
that we work as one team.

29
00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:18.300
You actually can't tell who is working on which side.

30
00:01:18.300 --> 00:01:20.040
<v ->Their structured and hands-on approach</v>

31
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.200
has really helped us to move very quickly

32
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.380
from ideas to building a new product.

33
00:01:25.380 --> 00:01:29.730
BCG X brings real industry experience and a clear process,

34
00:01:29.730 --> 00:01:32.790
covering innovation, validation, and incubation,

35
00:01:32.790 --> 00:01:35.190
which has helped us reduce our risk

36
00:01:35.190 --> 00:01:38.376
at different stages of building our venture.

37
00:01:38.376 --> 00:01:41.940
(uplifting music)

38
00:01:41.940 --> 00:01:43.860
<v ->I think another thing which brings me a lot of joy</v>

39
00:01:43.860 --> 00:01:46.380
and excitement is what we've done with Pawpaw,

40
00:01:46.380 --> 00:01:48.570
which is an animal care platform we built.

41
00:01:48.570 --> 00:01:50.040
Being able to take all the knowledge

42
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.170
which Mandai has through the zookeepers and the ability

43
00:01:52.170 --> 00:01:54.900
to look after the well-being of the animals here,

44
00:01:54.900 --> 00:01:57.030
and translating that into an experience at home,

45
00:01:57.030 --> 00:02:00.510
where pet parents are able to give the same level

46
00:02:00.510 --> 00:02:02.550
of care and understanding to their pets,

47
00:02:02.550 --> 00:02:03.750
and something which then allows them

48
00:02:03.750 --> 00:02:06.638
to enjoy the time that they have with their pets.

49
00:02:06.638 --> 00:02:10.200
(uplifting music)

50
00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:11.850
<v ->We're not only building ventures</v>

51
00:02:11.850 --> 00:02:13.710
that have a commercial path,

52
00:02:13.710 --> 00:02:17.190
that have a viable path, a scalability potential,

53
00:02:17.190 --> 00:02:20.550
but also we're making a positive impact to the world.

54
00:02:20.550 --> 00:02:23.430
For instance, for Ranger Buddies World Explorer,

55
00:02:23.430 --> 00:02:27.120
we're trying to cultivate future-ready skills for kids,

56
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:28.770
and the real joy comes

57
00:02:28.770 --> 00:02:30.900
when your customers really enjoy your product.

58
00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:32.910
We've seen how Mandai's assets

59
00:02:32.910 --> 00:02:35.010
are not only benefiting the park,

60
00:02:35.010 --> 00:02:37.680
but also beyond to a lot of people

61
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.720
in the region and around the world.

62
00:02:39.720 --> 00:02:41.400
<v ->What's even more exciting is the opportunity</v>

63
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:43.620
to work together with the broader ecosystem,

64
00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:46.500
including investors, practitioners,

65
00:02:46.500 --> 00:02:48.660
and of course Singapore's Economic Development Board

66
00:02:48.660 --> 00:02:50.310
and the Corporate Venture Launchpad,

67
00:02:50.310 --> 00:02:52.170
which has really been a great supporter for us

68
00:02:52.170 --> 00:02:54.120
in helping to cultivate an ecosystem

69
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.280
where we can partner and win together.

70
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.307
<v ->So all our ventures are designed such that the guests</v>

71
00:02:59.307 --> 00:03:03.030
and the customers will be able to use the product,

72
00:03:03.030 --> 00:03:04.680
and the product actually helps

73
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:06.734
make the world a better place.

74
00:03:06.734 --> 00:03:09.567
