Finance Student Legs It From Stocks to Stuffed Curry Puffs
Finance sophomore Lim Yuan Ming decided college wasnāt just about crushing numbersāhe launched 'What The Puff!', a curry puff empire thatās selling out faster than midterms. Starting in December with a modest SG$10,000 startup fund, Lim and brother Brandon now juggle three hawker stalls in Singapore, pushing 1,000 puffs a day. As Lim puts it, heās got 'three years to build this into somethingā¦ so Iāll never have to work an office job.' Even calls from suppliers invade his lecturesābecause who needs social life when you can have crispy, buttery success under a sarcastic neon 'puffing good time' sign?

Dropping out is for quitters; this finance guy chooses chronic hand cramps and supplier calls in lectures to avoid the dungeon cubicle. Who knew curry puffs were the new briefcase?
Nothing says entrepreneurship like waking up at 1 a.m. to prep dough while your classmates dream of ramen and all-night Netflix binges.
Limās hands hurt but his business doesnātāselling 1,000 curry puffs daily is basically the startup version of flexing on LinkedIn.
