I help companies make employees happier, using data. AMA!
NOTE: This AMA has ended. Find the Q&A with Cheetung in the comments.

Hello Tech in Asia readers!
I’m CheeTung, and I’m the co-founder and CEO of EngageRocket, an HR tech SaaS company in Singapore. Prior to this, I was the regional director at Gallup, running business development in Southeast Asia.
At EngageRocket, we help companies build better workplaces with people analytics—using qualitative and quantitative people data to improve employee experience and performance, and ultimately showing the financial returns on that investment.
We work primarily with fast-growing and transforming companies with 200 to 5,000 employees, and have analyzed over half a million responses from people in 13 different markets in Asia Pacific. We’ve raised US$1 million so far over two rounds of funding and are the first venture-funded startup in Southeast Asia to link employee experience with performance and productivity.
Some questions you might want to ask me:
- How do we ensure that we build a great culture in our team even as we scale fast?
- What can we do to prepare first-time people managers?
- What role can founders and leaders play in improving the employee experience, and what returns should they expect?
Note from Putra, TIA’s head of community content: The host may choose at his preference to not answer particular questions. The AMA is moderated by the community managers, so let’s keep the questions friendly. 🙂
