Let’s Go Local: Old Capital Tops To Do List For Chand

The general manager for Alpha Investments Pte Limited wears multiple hats.
Stanley Chand is a pharmacist, now running his family business.
The 29-year-old said growing up, he was able to grasp many business tactics from his father.
Now, he manages Alpha Investments Pte Limited, which is a wholesale trade and property development company.
Mr Chand said he has been in the business for the past eight years.
“I worked briefly at a pharmacy following my graduation from Fiji School of Medicine,” he said.
“But I would always have a knack for operating a business as I grew up with it.”
