SCB 10X Chief Venture and Investment Officer Mukaya (Tai) Panich
SCB 10X, the venture arm of Thailand’s Siam Commercial Bank, has announced the launch of a new fund worth US$50 million.
The fund will invest in both early- and growth-stage startups globally, particularly promising startups in blockchain infrastructure for decentralised finance (DeFi) and digital assets, to ready the bank for the digital financial systems of the future.
As per an official statement, the move is the latest in its attempt to spur its ‘Moonshot Mission’ even further. Moonshot Mission represents ideas and creations that have never been done before and the recognition of market needs in the future which can take the bank to reach the goals before other counterparts.

The bank, through SCB 10X, has set its eyes on strong potential companies and startups worldwide to create new capabilities embracing novel technology through investment to generate exponential growth.
SCB 10X Chief Venture and Investment Officer Mukaya (Tai) Panich, said: “With our new US$50-million blockchain-, DeFi-, and digital assets- dedicated VC fund, we will invest across the capital stack in innovative and promising startups in blockchain infrastructure, blockchain innovative applications, and decentralised finance globally, to better prepare the bank for future disruption.”
In her view, blockchain can reduce transaction costs, facilitate distributed trust, enhance security, and potentially become the new foundation for centralised and decentralised business models and platforms. In the financial industry, blockchain-enabled financial services have the potential to broaden financial inclusion, facilitate open access, and encourage innovation.
“We see strong parallels between traditional finance and blockchain-enabled financial services businesses. Blockchain technology can make financial services more innovative, interoperable, traceable, borderless, and transparent,” Panich added.

In October last year, SCB 10X entered into a partnership with Alpha Finance Lab (AFL), an ecosystem of cross-chain Decentralised Finance (DeFi) products, with an aim to bridge the gap between traditional banking and emerging financial technology with a new suite of DeFi products under the umbrella of Alpha.
As per this partnership, the two firms will closely work with each other to build and launch innovative and impactful Alpha products that become key building blocks to grow the DeFi market by leveraging years of knowledge and experience in traditional finance.

Hi there.
1covidnews.com, I appreciate the care you put into this space—it really shows.
I recently published my ebooks and training videos on
https://www.hotelreceptionisttraining.com/
They feel like a standout resource for anyone interested in hospitality management and tourism. These ebooks and videos have already been welcomed and found very useful by students in Russia, the USA, France, the UK, Australia, Spain, and Vietnam—helping learners and professionals strengthen their real hotel reception skills. I believe visitors and readers here might also find them practical and inspiring.
Unlike many resources that stay only on theory, this ebook and training video set is closely connected to today’s hotel business. It comes with full step-by-step training videos that guide learners through real front desk guest service situations—showing exactly how to welcome, assist, and serve hotel guests in a professional way. That’s what makes these materials special: they combine academic knowledge with real practice.
With respect to the owners of 1covidnews.com who keep this platform alive, I kindly ask to share this small contribution. For readers and visitors, these skills and interview tips can truly help anyone interested in becoming a hotel receptionist prepare with confidence and secure a good job at hotels and resorts worldwide. If found suitable, I’d be grateful for it to remain here so it can reach those who need it.
Why These Ebooks and Training Videos Are Special
They uniquely combine academic pathways such as a bachelor’s degree in hospitality management or a advanced hotel management course with very practical guidance on the hotel front desk job duties. They also cover the hotel front desk job description, and detailed hotel front desk tasks.
The materials go further by explaining the reservation systems in hotels, hotel check-in, check-out flow, guest service handling, and dealing with guest complaints—covering nearly every situation that arises in the daily business of a front office operation.
Beyond theory, my ebooks and training videos connect the academic side of hospitality management studies with the real-life practice of hotel front desk duties.
– For students and readers: they bridge classroom study with career preparation, showing how hotel management certificate programs link directly to front desk skills.
– For professionals and community visitors: they support career growth through questions for reception interview, with step-by-step interview questions for receptionist with answers. There’s also guidance on writing a strong receptionist job description for resume.
As someone who has taught resort management for nearly 30 years, I rarely see materials that balance the academic foundation with the day-to-day job description of front desk receptionist in hotel so effectively. This training not only teaches but also simulates real hotel reception challenges—making it as close to on-the-job learning as possible, while still providing structured guidance.
I hope the owners of 1covidnews.com, and the readers/visitors of 1covidnews.com, will support my ebooks and training videos so more people can access the information and gain the essential skills needed to become a professional hotel receptionist in any hotel or resort worldwide.
Keep up the great work—your consistency matters.
