Muhammad Ali

Dynamic student with life full of experiences, I am a second-year International Business Management student at APU, Malaysia, with a strong curiosity for how ideas turn into real businesses. While I am still early in my journey, I’ve actively explored the practical side of business by working on my own startup project, VZN, a student-focused fashion brand. Though the brand is still in its pre-launch stage, this process has taught me more than theory — from understanding market gaps to experiencing the challenges of product development, supplier management, and brand building.

Alongside this, I gained brief but valuable exposure to a real business environment through a short-term internship. These experiences have made me realize that learning doesn’t only happen in classrooms — it happens when you step into uncertainty, test your ideas, and face limitations. I still have much to learn, but I bring with me a combination of academic understanding, entrepreneurial drive, and a willingness to work hard, fail, and improve.
