Kuala Lumpur, 21 January 2021 – Teleport, the logistics venture of airasia digital, is launching its very own Community Entrepreneur Program. This two-month program is curated for aspiring Malaysian entrepreneurs to join in and build Teleport’s delivery business in seven cities across Malaysia. These cities are: Ipoh, Seremban, Johor Bahru, Penang, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching and Miri.

Enterprising individuals who join this program can earn up to RM3,000 per month and stand a chance at a full time job offer in Teleport Malaysia. They will be trained and tasked with selling Teleport’s delivery services and managing its delivery operations. Entrepreneurs will also be given a list of potential merchants to start approaching and access to various technologies from Teleport to help them throughout this program.

Teleport CEO Pete Chareonwongsak said, “We are very excited to roll out this Community Entrepreneur Program in the seven cities across Malaysia. We are growing and right now in 2021, through the uncertainties, we see great opportunity. This program is open to all, Malaysians all around are welcome to join in – even current and former AirAsia Allstars!”

“We were very lucky to have one of our very own pilots in AirAsia X, Captain Lim Kok Hooi, be part of the team driving huge success in Malacca during the early pilot phases of the program. With the program, we hope to not only pave the way in providing the best delivery services but also create jobs and a source of income to the community”, continued Pete.

“There are so many merchants out there who need our help and services. There is so much to learn when you meet different people from different businesses and it is truly eye opening. Malacca’s success could not be done without the help of Team Teleport and the determined Allstars that helped make things happen”, said Captain Lim.

Application process for this program is made easy. Apply as an individual or as a team of two. All that is needed is a 3-minute video, where the applicants explain how they would enter a city and sign up 100 merchants in one week.

The Community Entrepreneur Program will begin February 2021. Interested individuals may apply at teleport.asia/TheNextTony by 29 January 2021. For more details on the program, you may read some frequently asked questions (FAQ) at teleport.asia/community-entrepreneur-faq.
