Despite there being an unfathomable amount of data available to be accessed every day, it is useless unless it can be transformed into something valuable. The key to unlocking this is a holistic marketing ecosystem – one that can refine this data and support measurable revenue growth for a business. This is where Dust Value, an integrated marketing agency specialising in the IT and technology industries, can help. Celebrated in this programme for its distinction in the world of tech marketing, we spoke with Arif Kazi, Dust Value’s visionary leader, for more on its work.

Its services embody this difference, with the agency delivering a range of partner ecosystem management, integrated marketing, digital marketing, creative, PR management, analytics, and events-based services.

Diving deeper into some of these areas, Dust Value’s services help streamline a partner ecosystem and lead generation, with a seamless blend of traditional and digital strategies being orchestrated across promotional elements and communication channels – ensuring cohesion and consistency across a brand’s message.

Singapore Business Awards 2026| 5 this area is the key to scaling new heights and achieving unlimited possibility. Whether the team here are using proven SEO and SEM strategies to enhance visibility and drive traffic, or they are crafting custom strategies and meticulous media planning, everything is grounded in this drive to foster client success – specifically connecting them with their audience on a meaningful level and then connecting their brand with the world around them. Other highlights from across this full range of services include content creation, graphic design, branding, video production, data management, database services, crisis communication, reputation management, online and offline PR, and event lifecycle management (from planning and strategizing to marketing and promotion and postevent activities). Its reward management programmes – these featuring custom-built partner portals – and end-to-end experiential marketing solutions – are additional highlights. Every service mentioned above is defined by the core values of innovation, strategic growth, and a results-driven focus. This starts right at the top of the agency with Mr. Arif Kazi, the driving force behind its innovation and excellence. Arif has spent more than three decades working across a variety of industries, nurturing a passion for transformative strategies in the process. His forward-thinking ethos has proven pivotal in Dust Value’s success, especially when it comes to guiding the team to lead dynamic and creative campaigns. Commenting on the team he has built, Arif told us: “Our staff are highly integral in deriving success for the agency. For example, our multilingual helpdesk representatives play a critical role, providing linguistic expertise in various countries such as India, China, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Japan, to name a few.” He continued: “Our internal culture is defined by a balance of high-performance execution and creativity. We foster a workplace where teams work patiently and resiliently to solve complex problems across client projects.” These differentiating points have proven integral in Dust Value distinguishing itself in the APAC market, a setting where many different languages and cultures converge.

Best Luxury Resort Group 2026 & Experiential Hospitality & Guest Experience Excellence Award 2026 For hospitality providers, keeping their finger on the pulse of the ever-changing industry they are a part of is key in delivering world-class concepts and forward-thinking brands. As its name suggests, Pulse Hotels & Resorts does exactly this. A hospitality development group with a difference, Pulse focuses on creating extraordinary experiences and intelligent spaces which both inspire and delight. The group’s co-owner, Mohamed Khaleel, caught up with us for more. Headquartered in Singapore, Pulse Hotels & Resorts has been elevating the ordinary and taking holiday experiences to the next level since it was established back in 2015. A subsidiary of Deep Blue Private Limited, which is an investment company specialising in tourist resorts and other related businesses in the Maldives, it is unsurprising that Pulse’s portfolio currently spans a variety of high-end resorts, residences, and developments across these islands – all of which pride themselves on nurturing real guest connections. With the entrepreneurial spirit of Mr Sanjay Maniku and Mr Mohamed Khaleel guiding it at every turn, Pulse has grown into a haven of quality and value for the discerning traveller to the Maldives, and the group caters to all seeking an intelligent and contemporary experience in the heart of this island paradise. A big group with bigger plans, Pulse’s drive to pioneer across the hospitality industry is reflected through its seven brands, each of which highlights the non-stop innovation it is renowned for across this space. The first of these brands is the Nautilus, a private hideaway with ultra-luxury touches housed in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, which is situated just a stone’s throw from the famous Hanifaru Bay. Open from May to November, guests visiting this location can enjoy unforgettable experiences swimming these crystal-blue waters and encountering manta rays and majestic whale sharks. 26 beach/ocean houses comprise this resort, which is ideal for the ultra-high-net-worth traveller through to couples and families seeking total bliss. Second is Kandima, a unique resort set on a three-kilometre island. The perfect destination for those with active lifestyles, 270 cool and stylish studios and villas give way to ten restaurants and bars, numerous activities, and the Maldives’ largest children’s club. Just some of the things that can be enjoyed here include go-karting with a 500m asphalt race track, a gaming hub, and entertainment seven nights a week. Families of any size revel their time at this resort, which also welcomes friendship groups, couples, and solo travellers. Next up is Nova, a soulful and boutique sanctuary housing an all-inclusive community of 76 top-of-the-line villas. This resort is located within the South Ari Marine Protected Area, which is widely considered to be one of the most magical settings in the country. Encompassing this community concept on all sides is a variety of ocean life, and as this is one of the few places in the world where manta rays and whale sharks can be seen all year round, there is never a bad time to stay here and revel in endless ocean views. One of the grandest spaces in this portfolio, the Coral Residences is an integrated beachfront community boasting 40 private two/threebedroom owned and holiday apartments. All are fully serviced, a reflection of the luxury ethos seen through everything from the world-class facilities and five-star amenities to the stunning architecture these residences boast. Highlights include a 24/7 concierge service accessed via an app, gourmet grocery delivery, and private chef experiences, not to mention full access to Kandima. Those in search of a more eco-chic retreat will feel right at home at Eri, where nature, culture, and wellness converge across nearly 68 studios and villas. Just 45 minutes from Velana International Airport by speedboat, Eri’s commitment to wellness is seen through its barefoot sanctuary and serene spa. Top it all off with a variety of choice dining options and a reputation for being a diver’s paradise, and what shines through is a nature-filled resort where wonder awaits both above and below the clear-blue waves of the Indian Ocean. The final two resorts rounding out this portfolio are currently in development, with Aura set to open later this year and Avalon pencilled in for 2027. Whereas Aura will consist of 74 villas spread across the beach and the water – with a rigorous sustainable focus running throughout – Avalon is set to comprise 49 private residences on the island of Hiriyafushi in South Dhaalu Atoll, a place where organic architecture meets a seamless, world-class service. Both developments will reflect Pulse’s high standards and luxury ethos. “A collection of resorts with distinct souls.” Rather than simply replicating experiences across these brands, Pulse specialises in creating emotion and blending this with a consistent service excellence throughout its entire portfolio. This ties into the overarching vision of the group, which is to deliver holidays filled with happiness, wellbeing, and bliss at every turn. It recognises that the flag bearers of this vision, the team here, are vital in Pulse being able to provide soulful escapes to its ultra-luxury guests, and this is why the staff are – and always will be – the group’s backbone. Exploring this further, Mohamed told us: “Instead of following a script, our teams are free to make real, customised moments that show off the distinctive personality of each brand. Their passion, professionalism, and emotional intelligence make guests happy, keep them coming back, and help the group succeed in the long run.” He continued: “Pulse is a great place to work because we value trust, respect, and personal growth. People are proud to be a part of the team and want to do their best.” What follows is cultural alignment. Driven by the shared dedication to do the right thing at the right time, embrace life in a playful and curious way, remain deeply rooted and nurture a sense of belonging in its destinations, reflect humanity at every turn, and leave things better than how they found them, Pulse’s devotion to excellence across the holiday experiences it provides ensures that it is always looking ahead. By leveraging the innovative spirit touched on above, it can continue to refine its offerings to compete on both a local and a global level. For example, given the Maldives has become an increasingly popular destination for hotels since the first over-water villas – today a staple of its idyllic landscapes – arrived in 1992, it should come as no surprise that it is becoming increasingly difficult for hotels to attract and retain skilled and experienced staff. This, combined with the oversaturation, means that the Maldives, whilst still a magnificent destination, does not have the exclusive status it once did. Seeking this for its guests, Pulse is instead looking to open resorts abroad. Mohamed explained: “Emerging destinations in Africa, such as Zanzibar, and in other Asian countries, such as Sri Lanka, are becoming Pulse Hotels & Resorts
Singapore Business Awards 2026 | 7 better choices to operate new resorts.” This is why, after opening its two developments in the country, there is a good chance we will see Pulse popping up in other countries across the world. “Perhaps one or two new properties will open outside the Maldives within the next three years”, Mohamed added. Because innovation never stops, neither does Pulse Hotels & Resorts. Having already crafted several extraordinary experiences in the form of immaculately designed resorts across the Maldives, one can only imagine the bright future the group has ahead of it as it eyes up widening its scope after opening the doors of its two latest resorts. On the back of all this, it is our pleasure to recognise Pulse as the Best Luxury Resort Group 2026 and with our Experiential Hospitality & Guest Experience Excellence Award 2026.

Singapore Business Awards 2026 | 8 Cooking up culinary education, tourism, and team-building opportunities, SSA Culinary Institute (SSACI) is the largest halal culinary school in Singapore. Delivering a range of educational courses – including SkillsFuture-eligible culinary courses – as well as activities for corporate teams and tourists, SSACI can accommodate large numbers at its venue, which is conveniently located next to Tai Seng MRT Station. Suhaimi Salleh, the president and CEO of the SSA Group that SSACI is apart of, spoke with us for more on the back of its recognition in this programme. Housing seven modern, fully equipped kitchens with space for up to 150 participants at a time, SSA Culinary Institute leverages its status as a member of the SSA Group, which is one of Singapore’s leading transformation and empowerment service providers for workforce development, to offer a high-quality education in the world of gastronomy. Across its culinary and baking training for individuals, teambuilding activities, and tourist experiences, SSACI takes pride in preserving the culinary heritage of this region. “We invest significant effort into preserving traditional recipes, techniques, and cultural context, ensuring that every programme reflects genuine heritage rather than simplified adaptations.” This is best seen through the new Singapore Heritage Kitchen workshop, where SSACI offers a unique, food-filled journey through Singapore, one dish at a time. More than just a cooking class, this tourism-based workshop offers a taste of the country’s soul, with curious travellers and lovers of culture alike invited along to sample some of its most beloved flavours. These include spicy Malay cuisine, warm and comforting Chinese dishes, and intricately beautiful Peranakan sweets. Each of the recipes behind these dishes tells a story. As mentioned in the beginning, the exclusive use of halal-certified ingredients across every workshop delivered by SSACI means that its Muslim guests can engage in any of these classes with total peace of mind – reflecting the sense of community and inclusivity SSACI seeks to nurture across these workshops. A great example of this ongoing mission is its CSR baking experience, where corporate teams bake together before packaging their creations and delivering them to chosen beneficiaries within their local communities. Outside of these activities, SSACI gives back in another meaningful way through the educational courses and subsidised programmes it delivers, with these helping participants to learn new skills and potentially progress with a career in the culinary arts. Across these programmes, SSACI covers all the bases, offering everything from basic food safety courses through to regional favourites such as the Kampong Favourites series, as well as offering the Baking for a Living and Workforce Skills Qualification (WSQ) series. Many people can access the WSQ series with up to 70% of their subsidies paid, and the aforementioned SkillsFuture initiative, which can be accessed by Singaporeans aged 25 and above, will pay for most of SSACI’s courses, making enrolling and taking the first steps towards learning an invaluable skill more straightforward than ever. As for why everyone should do this, Suhaimi explained: “Our commitment ensures that participants experience not only technical skills, but also invaluable cultural meaning and context.” Behind every corporate organisation, international visitor, or student who leaves SSACI with a new talent are the team here, whose passion for Singaporean cultural immersion is the cherry on top of these hands-on cooking workshops and teambuilding activities for large groups. It is thanks to this team that these programmes succeed in the shared aim of creating shared experiences, strengthening relationships, and bolstering deeper understanding. As this shows, what SSACI offers go well beyond the typical cooking class. Delivering a range of services united by consistency, heritage culinary practices, and practical, hands-on skills that serve people well in their everyday life, SSA Culinary Institute caters to everyone seeking a meaningful and interactive experience that is rooted in heritage – whether they are local or visiting from abroad. Its recognition as the Best Heritage-Led Culinary Education Organisation 2026 reflects its commitment to this cause, something its visitors from all over the world attest to in their glowing testimonials. With a jam-packed schedule being operated by SSACI for the remainder of 2026, there has never a better time to enrol on one (or more) of these halal cooking classes in Singapore. Doing so is easy as following the link below, where more details can be found on these programmes, the funding options, and any other queries a reader may have.

MetaMotus™ Galileo instead specialises in research and training across the areas of biomechanics and sports science, using the latest VR technologies to provide a full clinical assessment and rehabilitation training environment. Finally, EXOPS™ (or Exoskeleton & Robotics Open Platform System) is an open platform making exoskeleton technologies both more flexible and meaningful. These solutions have led to industry acclaim, and, fresh off the launch of the Embodied AI for Rehabilitation at the GReAT Summit 2025, which marked a significant advancement in integrating AI and robotic therapy, as well as ExoMotus™ M4, its next-generation lowerlimb robotic exoskeleton, being named a finalist at the IERA Awards 2025, 2026 is set to be another exciting year for Fourier Rehab. Just some of its plans include launching new solutions and exploring new frontiers across neurorehabilitation and beyond.

Singapore Business Awards 2026 | 12 Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic healthcare system that has evolved over thousands of years, with a focus on restoring balance and harmony within the body. The practice has gained increasing popularity in recent years, especially as interest in alternative health practices rises worldwide. At the cutting-edge of this growing industry stands White Dragon TCM (WD TCM), a lifestyle beauty company driven by Founder and CEO Winnie LIW. We caught up with Winnie to learn more, as parent company Kingdom of Esther is celebrated in the Singapore Business Awards 2026. Visionary entrepreneur Winnie LIW is committed to bridging the gap between traditional Chinese wellness philosophy and modern entrepreneurship, leading purpose-driven innovation worldwide. Her inspirational journey has been celebrated on the global stage, building significant credibility and influence over the years with accolades that include the title of Business Strategist of the Year 2025, and recognition in Women Power Players 2025, Most Influential Business Leaders 2024, World’s 50 Most Influential Business Women, and Gulf’s Top 10 Visionary Professionals to Follow in 2025. Winnie founded WD TCM in Hong Kong in 2008, a leading lifestyle brand specialising in the production of 100% chemical-free, TCM-based natural beauty care products. The company’s patented formulations are created with Chinese herbs, plant extracts, and essential vitamins, blending the wisdom of ancient Chinese healing philosophies with modern technology to deliver unique products that heal the skin from within. Kingdom of Esther was then established in Singapore in 2019, responding directly to the evolving demands of the market. Expanding the sales and marketing support of WD TCM – Winnie LIW’s primary core business – Kingdom of Esther manages both B2B and B2C engagements across the APAC region and beyond. This includes product innovation, design and development, business planning, and providing comprehensive marketing support to strategic partners and distributors worldwide. Together, the two entities primarily serve health-conscious customers, beauty enthusiasts, and the everyday consumer seeking premium products and natural skincare solutions. The market is competitive, but WD’s products stand out for their patented formulations, possessing unique healing properties that deliver visible results whilst offering a longer shelf-life when compared to other herbal materials. “With our patented formulations, our team of professors have modernised the TCM formulations to create a complete range of personal beauty care products,” Winnie told us. “These products are designed not only to enhance beauty from head to toe, but also to promote internal wellness, preventing the visible signs of ageing. Our formulations deliver gradual, lasting results, with visible improvements often observed within just two weeks.” “Our formulations deliver gradual, lasting results, with visible improvements often observed within just two weeks.” This standout team of renowned professors are dedicated to continuously innovating and refining these products, staying at the forefront of technological advancement and meticulously adjusting formulations as required. In doing so, the team maintains superior quality and effectiveness across its product line, whilst ensuring each product performs optimally across diverse climates around the world. In the last year, the team has made significant strides towards its global expansion strategy. A key milestone was the successful onboarding of WD TCM products onto Singapore Airlines’ KrisShop platform, which enables the company to introduce its wellness range to a wider regional and international audience. This partnership has been instrumental in solidifying WD TCM’s position as a trusted premium wellness brand rooted in the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Another major initiative has been the revamp of WD TCM’s product packaging, which now utilises FSC-certified paper. This is a clear step forward in the company’s sustainability roadmap, allowing the team to communicate WD TCM’s heritage, values, and promise of clean beauty while staying true to the unwavering eco-conscious values that has earned the prestigious APAC Insider Sustainability Excellence Award 2026. 2026 will be a critical year centred on strategic market entries. The team is currently working with potential partners in the GCC, the USA, China, Malaysia, and Kazakhstan to introduce WD TCM’s award-winning formulations to consumers in these fast-growing wellness markets. Following its recent recognition as the Best TCM-Based Lifestyle Beauty Company 2026, the goal this year is to establish distribution and brand presence in these key regions, with a long-term view of developing localised partnerships that uphold the team’s steadfast standards and brand philosophy. Looking ahead, Winnie shared with us: “With these milestones in motion, our focus remains on scaling sustainably, refining our product innovation pipeline, and empowering more individuals to lead healthier lifestyles through the power of nature and TCM wisdom.” Contact: Winnie LIW Company: Kingdom of Esther Pte Ltd Web Address: www.estherkingdom.com & www.wdtcmlifestyle.com Best TCM-Based Lifestyle Beauty Company 2026 & APAC Insider Sustainability Excellence Award 2026 Dec25095
Singapore Business Awards 2026 | 13 AIM-Dec25257 As Singapore enters 2026, organisations are navigating a more structured and compliance-focused hiring landscape while balancing productivity, retention, and evolving workforce expectations.

From its Singapore headquarters, the firm delivers structured hiring solutions that combine regional reach with deep local expertise. Its recognition in the Singapore Business Awards 2026 reflects consistent delivery standards and sustained client trust. “At Reeracoen, our mission is to ‘Create a Wonderful Future with Those Pursuing Happiness,’ and we strive to pass happiness onto those envisioning a brighter tomorrow. This philosophy, combined with our commitment to quality and speed, makes us a trusted recruitment partner for organisations navigating Singapore’s 2026 hiring environment.” Reeracoen offers a number of specialist services, all tailored to meet the unique needs of both employers and employees.

Ultimately, Reeracoen aims to serve as a practical and reliable source of guidance for employers and professionals across Singapore, particularly as hiring becomes more skills-based, data-driven, and increasingly focused on fairness and longterm sustainability. Beyond supporting hiring needs, the firm also fulfils this role by regularly contributing its perspectives on workforce, talent, and future-of-work topics through media engagement and industry discussions. “Recruitment today requires more than speed,” Shoichi told us. “It demands structured processes, regulatory awareness, and a deep understanding of workforce expectations. Our approach focuses on delivering consistent quality while supporting our clients’ long-term talent strategies.” This support is essential in today’s hiring market, as Singapore transitions towards a future-ready economy. Across the country, organisations are managing costs carefully and placing stronger emphasis on productivity, skills alignment, and workforce retention. At the same time, salary expectations remain competitive, and employers are preparing for a more structured hiring environment that has been shaped by fairness considerations, dispute resolution frameworks, and evolving work pass and salary benchmark requirements. In this landscape, Reeracoen is committed to supporting employers in navigating an increasingly compliance- and fairnessfocused hiring environment, alongside evolving work pass requirements, while maintaining the ability to secure scarce and specialised skills efficiently. By closely tracking labour market shifts, leveraging its extensive talent database, and applying a specialised consultant model, Reeracoen successfully enables organisations to hire with confidence in a fast-changing landscape. Through 2025, Reeracoen worked hard to strengthen its position as a trusted recruitment partner for Japanese-speaking talent in Singapore and across Asia. The agency has expanded its capabilities to support local, Chinese-speaking, and Korean-speaking hiring in response to evolving market needs, a strategic move that reflects the growing diversity of workforce demand in the region. Building on this success, Reeracoen is approaching 2026 with purpose. “Our focus is on deepening specialist recruitment coverage in areas where demand remains structurally strong,” Shoichi announced. “These include banking and financial services, fintech, artificial intelligence and digital technologies, semiconductor and advanced manufacturing, and regulatory compliance. Through this approach, we aim to support organisations with more targeted, industry-relevant hiring expertise in a competitive talent market.” Contact: Shoichi Sunaga Company: Reeracoen Singapore Pte Ltd Web Address: www.reeracoen.sg Best Recruitment & Talent Acquisition Agency 2026 & Client Service Excellence Award 2026
