  • Summary

  • Amra Naidoo is an Australian mother of an 18-month-old, currently based in Bangkok, Thailand, after years of living and working in Singapore. She is also the co-founder and General Partner of Accelerating Asia, a leading early-stage venture capital fund in Southeast Asia. In our conversation today which is full of personal and professional inspiration, Amra shared openly about many areas including how, despite her priding herself being an avid fitness enthusiast (practicing Muay Thai, Brazilian Jujitsu, aerial arts, AND yoga sometimes 6 days a week), her pregnancy, recovery and a miscarriage later literally stopped her in her tracks and taught her some of life's toughest lessons. 🥋🤰🏽✨

    In our conversation, Amra also opens up on:

    🌟How Accelerating Asia’s 4 day work week and unlimited leave has impacted productivity

    🌟Why she decided to move to Thailand from Singapore whilst pregnant and cultural differences observed

    🌟Her unique philosophy in hiring nannies

    🌟Her story of a difficult pregnancy, recovery and miscarriage later on

    🌟The importance of consciously designing one's life and career.
