KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia; 14 March 2024 - It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved co-founder and executive director, Nantha Kumar s/o Vaithilingam. He passed away peacefully on 2nd March 2024. Nantha played an instrumental role in shaping Spirit of Endeavour into what it is today, and his legacy will forever be ingrained in our company culture. 

Nantha epitomized a profound sense of public spirit, dedicating extensive time and effort to various non-profit endeavors. His altruism was evident through his roles, including serving as a former President of the Old Lasallians Association at La Salle PJ Alumni Association, as well as his continued commitment to his alma mater as a member of its Board of Governors. He chaired the Sugam Foundation, exemplifying his unwavering dedication to philanthropy.  

In recent years, Nantha's passion for social impact extended globally, with significant involvement in digital transformation projects across Fiji, Sabah, Timor-Leste, and other regions. His tireless efforts in these ventures left an indelible mark, reflecting his profound commitment to making a meaningful difference in the world.
