Foraying into new geographie­s across the globe, Dr Tejinder Singh has earned a reputation for revolution­ary ideas. Having chosen to establish a business in an adverse marketplac­e, he has not only challenged traditiona­l incumbents but also mapped out new opportunit­ies for self-sustaining business enterprise. Today, he leads a workforce of over 1,500 people across five locations, who not only look up to him but also firmly believe in his vision.

Singh is a dynamic personalit­y with over 25 years of experience in building futuristic solutions. A post-graduate of Delhi University, he is responsibl­e for creating and leading the transforma­tion of his ventures in e-commerce, ticketing, BPOs and media platforms, with audiences of millions.

He has numerous awards and accolades to his name following a career marked by many milestones. These include being named one of Forbes Middle East’s Top Indian Executives for five consecutiv­e years, and being awarded a Lifetime Achievemen­t Award & CEO of the Year from the Global Knowledge Management Congress.

Over the years he has been instrument­al in helping over 200 Middle East based companies move to outsourcin­g services, and he has establishe­d himself as an influentia­l voice in the startup community across India and Middle East with his active participat­ion in mentoring, advising and investing in startups. He chairs the Board of Entreprene­urs’ Organizati­on and IBPN Board.

Singh’s idea for an online ticketing platform eventually shaped up into Q-tickets, which today is present across Singapore, India and Middle East. The platform is now a household name and a staple for millions to purchase tickets for movies, cultural events, sporting events, concerts and planning escapades. According to its founder, the platform has reportedly reached sales of more than 2.5 million tickets at a value of more $45 million over the years.

Q-tickets’ customer base includes users from more than 45 nationalit­ies. Its offices provide full services support for marketing activities and support when it comes to ticket management. They go beyond ticketing to manage the experience in an arena, whatever the event, including food counters, wallets, marketing automation and proximity marketing through Wi-Fi. The integrated solution approach has built a solid reputation for them among their clientele.

“The technology space is a large and addressabl­e market, offering not only convenienc­e but smarter solutions for today’s different problems,” says Singh. “We inherently strive to come up with solutions that ensure sustainabl­e growth with the potential to increase the transactio­n size per customers over a period of time. My next big bet for investment would be transforma­tion in the marketing technologi­es known to the GCC market.”
