Mr. Lim Wai Mun is the Founder and CEO of Doctor Anywhere, a tech-led healthcare company operating across Southeast Asia. Wai Mun’s educational foundation in mechanical engineering, acquired at the National University of Singapore, laid the groundwork for his diverse career. Initially, he delved into the world of finance, serving as an investor for three years with Standard Chartered Private
Equity, specialising in real estate investments across Asia. Building on this experience, Wai Mun embarked on a nine-year journey with Temasek Holdings, a Singapore-based investment firm. During his tenure, he also helped to conceive and launch Pavilion Energy. This venture has since grown to become a leading global LNG company.
In 2017, Wai Mun’s entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish Doctor Anywhere, a tech-led healthcare company aimed at providing personalised, borderless and inclusive healthcare. It delivers holistic healthcare for 2.5 million people across six countries, with services spanning primary & specialist care, telehealth, preventive health, and an online health and wellness marketplace. The company’s remarkable achievements include consecutive appearances on LinkedIn’s prestigious list of Top Startups in Singapore for three consecutive years, in 2021, 2022, and 2023. It has been ranked #11 in Singapore’s Fastest-Growing Companies 2024 list compiled by The Straits Times and Statista, and #5 in Financial Times and Statista’s High-Growth Companies Asia-Pacific 2023 list. Wai Mun was honoured with the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year (Health Care Services) award in 2022 for his entrepreneurship and contribution to the healthcare industry, and subsequently named overall country winner as EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2022 Singapore. He continues to mentor and guide aspiring entrepreneurs, and was most recently a resident judge on CNA’s ‘The Big Spark’, an eight-part business reality TV show gathering 24 start-up teams across Southeast Asia, as a platform to raise capital and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs across the region.
