On the 1st of February Myanmar's military carried out a coup, seizing control of the country, undoing a democratic election in which Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) party won by a landslide. In the weeks since, the Burmese people, including healthcare workers and civil servants have expressed their discontent through peaceful protest and mass civil disobedience. Million of workers have gone on strike with the hope of putting financial pressure on the military rulers. As of the end of March, at least 520 civilians, including children, have been killed by military or police forces and at least 3,070 people detained. Aye Min Thant is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who has covered business, politics, and conflict in Myanmar, Thailand, and the United States. They most recently worked at Phandeeyar, a Yangon-based NGO, leading a team promoting social cohesion in Myanmar through digital and media literacy education.

With 55 million people, Myanmar transitioned from 5% to 85% internet penetration in just 7 years. That’s more than 65% of the population that has access to electricity! This transition started 2 years after the country ended its militaristic rule in 2011 to become a democracy. The opening up of the country paired with the population’s latent demand to participate in the international economy meant people quickly adopted the internet and social media. Startups were also popping up as older industries struggled to meet people’s needs. Covid in 2020, served as another push for businesses to move some of their operations online. Join me in a discussion with Jes Kaliebe Petersen, CEO of Phandeeyar, one of the earliest accelerators in Myanmar, as he shares local insights on local business models and challenges in the ecosystem. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dianna-yau/support
