STORYLINE:

SOUNDBITE (English): RAJ OSWAL, American entrepreneur
"My name is Raj Oswal and I am from California. 
I came to Shenzhen in April 2019. 
I started my company in 2020. 
We are a technology solution provider. 
My latest initiative is to work on education technology using solutions like virtual reality, VR. 
When I graduated from college, I worked in the startup field in Silicon Valley for about 12 years.
When I came here, I was really surprised to see (Shenzhen).
It reminded me of Silicon Valley.
It reminded me that entrepreneurial spirit that I had grown up.
I had that same feeling in Shenzhen.
I thought this should be a really good platform for me to build a business over here.
So that's why I decided to start my Chinese entity in Shenzhen,
because it has a lot of strategic benefits to be in Shenzhen.
It's a good hub for Asia and a good hub to develop the technologies
that we could introduce to other parts of the world.
We want to work with teachers and empower teachers so that they can use what they're using right now and use new tools like VR to basically empower their students.
I've lived here for 4 years.
It's a growing city.
For me, Shenzhen is all about energy.
And that young spirit is what excites me about this place,
because it makes me feel very young and full of energy to create new things."
