Testimonials

I have had the great pleasure of knowing Thomas since 2008 when he recruited me into YPO. I witnessed him start-up Genashtim, an organization which focuses on providing employment of people from disadvantaged communities. At one stage 90% of his employees were people with disabilities. Genashtim is the only company in the world I know of that gets remote work right, and looks after its employees so well. I wish more CEOs will follow his example.

I’ve watched how Thomas nurtured Genashtim over the years through some of its many growing pains. With much hard work, tenacity, love and at times heartbreak, he has managed to transform Genashtim into a company which delivers world class services and products. Along the way, he has pioneered many things which other organisations are now trying to copy and adopt.

I first met Thomas about twenty years ago at a meeting to establish an online-based master course degree program for persons with disability (PWD) in Asia. Two things about Thomas impressed me greatly at that time ‐ his sense of innovation in business, and his sincere attitude toward persons with disability (PWD). Thomas’ view of PWD is very much ahead of its time.

I have had the good fortune of calling Thomas Ng my friend and business partner for almost 7 years now. His business acumen is coupled with a clarity of purpose that has driven steady growth and profound impact for both Genashtim and their clients. Genashtim has been a Certified B Corporation since December, 2015 — Thomas was one of our founding B Corporations in Asia and has since helped accelerate the movement in that region. In 2021, B Lab Global turned to Genashtim to become our first Independent Verification Partner to help qualify inbound submissions for Certification from around the globe. Thomas’ unquestionable integrity and responsiveness made Genashtim the perfect partner for B Lab as we scaled. Thomas is a truly an exceptional social entrepreneur, and we’re fortunate to have him as a leader in our community. Read more
