Arch Wongchindawest

Founder, Socialgiver

Industry : Advocacy

After working as a social impact and innovation consultant, Arch established his own start-up called Socialgiver. It is a platform where customers can shop for products and services from over 300 Thai brands who have committed to donating a percentage of their profits to worthy causes. Social giver connects, inspires and empowers people around the world to live socially conscious lifestyles. During the coronavirus pandemic he ran a campaign to raised 4.5 million baht to secure PPE and other medical supplies for hundreds of rural hospitals across Thailand. A self-confessed dreamer whose interests include Blockchain, fintech and CSR, he has also launched a new social enterprise in Singapore called Wildchain, which aims to combat the climate and extinction crisis by providing a means for people to plant trees and save endangered species via a game that impacts the real world. He says he found his greatest inspiration from a Zen death poem by Morikawa Kyoriku: “Till now I thought that death befell the untalented alone. If those with talent, too, must die surely they make better manure".
