NE Championship executive Niharika Singh will advise ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong on the company’s upcoming production The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition, which is slated for release in the fourth quarter this year.
Singh, who is a ONE Championship VP and head of product, was considered the best fit for the position as she has spent countless hours inside the boardroom with Sityodtong. Singh has observed the billionaire closely as he has made tough business decisions on a daily basis.
“As Sityodtong's advisor, I will be his eyes and ears, even behind the scenes,” said Singh.
“So, you can expect me to be constantly observing and assessing the candidates. I will be present when Sityodtong delivers the tasks, will acutely observe candidates during the tasks and will play a part in the final decisions made in the boardroom.”
“I have worked extensively with Sityodtong, so I know how he works, how his mind works and what he looks for when he is hiring,” said Singh, as quoted from a statement sent to The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.
Singh started her professional career as consultant at McKinsey & Company then moved to Treebo Hotels, an early stage startup in India, before eventually relocating to Singapore.
“I will be following and observing the candidates throughout the tasks and will be relaying my feedback to Sityodtong. As an advisor to him, I will be candid in my feedback and will strongly and publicly air my opinions. In short, if any candidate wants to get to Sityodtong, he or she will need to get through me first.”
The Apprentice is a product of ONE Championship’s production arm, ONE Studios, and, under license from MGM Television, the popular reality television show will run on both streaming and linear platforms across the Pan Asian region. It will also air on major television networks and digital channels in more than 150 countries worldwide.
