His Story
How it Started
Growing up, Chayut’s father instilled in him a crucial lesson that would shape his approach to life. It was during the national piano competition when Chayut faced defeat for three consecutive years, always losing to the same person. Frustrated and on the verge of giving up, his father shared his story of perseverance. He recounted how he had founded his own company, faced rejections from numerous investors, struggled to gain customers and revenue, and even endured a devastating flood in 2011 that damaged the plans for his business model. Despite these challenges, he fought through bankruptcy and successfully rebuilt his company. His father’s work stuck with Chayut: ‘Never giving up is key to success. As long as you persevere and work hard with an unwavering mindset of resilience, success with be within reach.” Inspired by his father’s story, Chayut continued to work diligently, remaining undeterred by losses, until he finally bought the trophy home. To this day, Chayut firmly believes and embodies the mindset in all his endeavors.
Chayut considers himself fortunate, born into a loving family without facing significant hardships. Supported emotionally and financially by his parents, he was able to attain a quality education. During a trip to India with his religious family to learn about Buddha’s life, Chayut witnessed the struggles of underprivileged families and neglected children. This eye-opening experience expanded his perspective and fueled his desire to help those who lack opportunities. Chayut’s greatest aspiration is to create opportunities for people and enable them to achieve their dreams.
