Elena started her career in this industry in Aug 2014. Her mother being a Malaysian had applied for her PR and subsequently Singapore Citizenship and even as a child Elena was fascinated by the whole process. Her interest in the industry grew as she witnessed how big an impact the right immigration status had on people and their lives. In her experience working in the Immigration Industry, she felt, the fact that this industry was not regulated left a lot of room for unscrupulous practices by companies that did not have the right values. After coming across a lot of people who had been conned, misrepresented, or charged inappropriately and did not even receive the services they paid for, Elena and her colleague & friend Kay, often had long discussions where they shared the desire to be able to serve all clients the right way. Through their discussions, they crystalized the idea of a company with certain values and missions and these discussions paved the way for TIP.
