Whoami?

  M. Nasir Sobri has been marketing online since he first gotten on the Internet in 1992 – first via email, bulletin board
system (BBS), gopher and immediately on the Web in 1993 when the first commercial web browsers (NCSA Mosaic,
Netscape Navigator and MacWeb) were released. He setup his dotcom venture immediately after college graduation
in Ann Arbor, Michigan specializing in CMS development & server maintenance.

  After ‘dotcom crash’ in 2001, he returned to Malaysia and continued webhosting & e-marketing business while
venturing into broadband services & computer hardware resellership/physical retail. Over the early return years to
Malaysia, he participated in local business conferences and expos plus major global events hosted in Malaysia by
ICANN, GKP, WITSA, O’ Reilly Media/CMP Media etc. He also traveled to Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Japan to

to Web (2.0) bandwagon serving as a Country Manager for global Pajamanation project and attempted university-
entrepreneur collaboration at UUM Kedah & USM Pulau Pinang campuses.

  Today, Nasir continues to run a web solutions business – consulting, development, hosting and marketing services
under “1oasis” domain-brand (he priorly used “webpod.com” domain starting 1998, but later sold the brand 10 years
later). As a serial (social) entrepreneur, Nasir co-founded a local ICT entrepreneur’s association, a state-wide
entrepreneur’s Co-operative (private limited) entity, a rural area social entrepreneurship club, and helped catalyzing
Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) campaign in Penang. He is now Chairman of KUMUDA Bhd and Honorary
Secretary of ICT Penang. He previously served as Vice Chairman for MNCC Penang Regional Centre (2009-2010).
