    [SINGAPORE] Once on the brink of bankruptcy, home-grown auto repair shop Pitstop Tyres is now making more than S$1 million in annual revenue – thanks to its second-generation owner’s fresh approach.

    When Cordillia Tan joined the family business in end-2020, she brought along her experience in a venture capital firm, where she helped early-stage startups accelerate their growth.

    But she did not expect to spend the next few years trying to pull the company out of debt.
