Hello, I am Melvin Poh.
I’m an award winning social entrepreneur and barrister but above all, I’m a passionate public intellectual who brings deep thinking to the digital age. I bridge the worlds of timeless philosophy and modern action. As a dedicated philosopher-entrepreneur, I don’t just explore life’s enduring questions, I apply them to bring real impact. I create technologies, communities, solutions and platforms designed to elevate collective wisdom and spark meaningful change. I am incredibly grateful that my work has been well recognised and supported by the public at large.
But beyond titles and recognition, my purpose is simple: to restore depth in an increasingly distracted world. We live in an age of abundance yet beneath the surface, many feel lost, restless, and disconnected. I believe this quiet despair stems not from what we lack, but from what we’ve forgotten: the art of introspection, the pursuit of meaning, and the value of philosophy. That’s why my life’s work is devoted to reviving philosophy as a living, breathing force, not as abstract theory, but as a way of thinking, living, and leading. Through my musings, ventures, and public work, I aim to make philosophy relevant, practical, and accessible for everyone.
