Reflecting on a Grounded 2025: Lessons from Favoriot’s Journey

I am writing this ten days before 2025 comes to an end.

When I look back at the year, it does not feel loud. It does not feel dramatic. It feels focused. Demanding. Grounded. A year where most of my time, energy, and thinking revolved around one thing only: Favoriot.

If I am being honest, 2025 was not a year of balance. It was a year of commitment.

Most of my days were spent at the office. And when I was not physically there, my mind was still working on Favoriot. Nights. Weekends. Quiet moments that could have been rest often turned into planning or problem-solving. I did not spend much time on myself personally. There were no real holidays. The only breaks I had were during overseas business trips, and even then, work followed me closely.

I told myself more than once, This is not a sacrifice. This is a choice.

And I am at peace with that choice.

Fewer Invitations and a Shift in How We Connect

One noticeable change in 2025 was the drop in invitations from universities and public conferences. Many engagements that used to be physical moved online. Meetings became links. Conversations became scheduled time slots on screens.

I realised something about myself quite clearly this year.

I do not enjoy online meetings anymore.

They are convenient, but they remove the human layer. The casual chats before meetings start. The spontaneous conversations after sessions end. The subtle signals that build trust faster than formal presentations ever can.

I still prefer face-to-face meetings. They feel more honest. Better for networking. Better for understanding people beyond their titles.

Public conferences were fewer as well. Part of it could be the current spotlight on AI. IoT felt quieter this year, almost like it had stepped back from centre stage. I was not bothered by it. I was observant.

Trends move quickly. Real work moves steadily.

Why Panel Sessions Still Matter to Me

While formal speaking invitations slowed, one format still felt right to me: panel sessions.

No slides. No heavy preparation. Just conversations.

Sitting on stage, exchanging views, listening, responding, sometimes disagreeing politely. That feels closer to how decisions are made in real life.

I often think that insight shows up better in dialogue than in bullet points.

That belief stayed strong in 2025.

A Year Focused on Partnerships

Behind the scenes, 2025 was anything but quiet.

We spent a significant amount of time building partnerships. By the end of the year, we had signed MOUs with more than 40 partners across 15 countries. Our original target was 25 countries, so on paper, we fell short geographically.

But numbers do not tell the whole story.

I have learned that more partners do not automatically mean more revenue or more projects. Partnerships only matter when they are actively engaged, aligned, and nurtured.

Signing is easy. Building trust takes time.

Some partnerships moved faster. Some are still warming up. Some will likely take longer to show results. That is the nature of building across borders.

This year reminded me that ecosystems are built patiently, not collected quickly.

When People Find You on Their Own

One encouraging pattern this year was how people and companies started approaching us unexpectedly.

Each time, I asked the same question. “How did you find us?”

The answer was often simple. They searched online. They did their own research. They were surprised to discover an IoT platform company operating from this region.

That always made me pause.

Years of writing, sharing, and building quietly compound over time. Visibility does not always arrive with announcements. Sometimes it comes as an unexpected email or message.

That is when you realise the work has travelled further than you thought.

Fewer Projects, Fewer Trainings, a Cautious Market

Not everything grew this year.

Real IoT projects were fewer compared to previous years. IoT training numbers dropped as well. In-house training, which used to scale better, became harder to secure. We relied more on public training sessions, which are always challenging when it comes to attendance.

The market felt cautious.

Budgets were tighter. Decisions took longer. Interest was still there, but commitment required more patience.

There were moments when I questioned the pace. Is this a temporary slowdown, or is the market resetting itself?

Perhaps it is both.

Shifting My Focus Between Industry Associations

This year, I was less active in the Malaysia Smart City Alliance Association.

At the same time, I became more involved with the Malaysia IoT Association, partly due to my role as Vice-Chairman.

More importantly, MyIoTA’s Smart City Nexus activities align closely with the reasons I joined the association. The Nexus focuses on bringing members’ solutions directly to local councils. It creates a practical space for business matching, not just discussion.

That matters to me, and I plan to be more active there moving into 2026.

Favoriot Sembang Santai Podcast: Keeping Conversations Human

Another meaningful chapter in 2025 was the start of the Favoriot Sembang Santai.

We started the podcast in February 2025, and by December, we had reached Episode 38.

The reason was simple. I wanted a space for honest conversations. No scripts. No slides. No pressure to sound formal. Just honest discussions about Favoriot’s journey and what we were seeing in the IoT space.

The primary host is Zura Huzali, and I serve as the primary guest and speaker. The chemistry works because it feels natural. Curious questions. Straight answers. Occasional debates. Plenty of laughter.

The topics evolved naturally from Favoriot’s story into broader themes such as AI, robotics, satellite IoT, and Ambient IoT. Not as buzzwords, but as technologies we were trying to make practical sense of.

Anyone who misses the live sessions can catch the recordings on YouTube, Spotify, and Amazon Music.

The podcast will continue throughout 2026. For me, it is a long conversation, not a series.

TikTok Live on IoT Man: Ask Me Anything

Alongside the podcast, we also started doing casual TikTok Live sessions on the IoT Man channel.

The central theme is simple. “Ask Me Anything.”

No agenda. No slides. Just live questions and real-time answers. What excites me about these sessions is that they capture a different segment of listeners. Shorter attention spans. Younger audiences. People who may not sit through a long podcast but are curious enough to drop in and ask.

It feels raw. Immediate. Human.

Sometimes the most honest questions come without preparation.

Working With AI to Prepare for 2026

As 2025 draws to a close, one personal highlight has been working with my AI companion.

Not to replace thinking, but to sharpen it.

I spent many late nights shaping 2026 playbooks. How we approach the market. How we engage customers. How we manage partners. New business models. New IoT solution ideas.

The picture ahead feels clearer now.

Looking Forward

2025 was not flashy. It did not come with loud milestones.

But it mattered.

It tested focus. It strengthened conviction. It prepared the ground.

I am genuinely excited about 2026. The plans are clearer. The energy feels different. I hope the long-standing plans around IoT certifications with universities will finally become a reality.

Here is to a better, steadier, and more rewarding year ahead.

I would love to hear how your 2025 has been. Share your reflections in the comments.

The Courage to Create: Answering Life’s Questions

One sentence.

“Is this all?”

That question did not come from failure.
It came from success that felt… incomplete.

On paper, things looked fine.
Titles. Meetings. Progress updates.
Calendars full. Slides polished.

But something kept pulling at me.

A desire to build.
Not just oversee.

A desire to leave something behind.
Not just pass things along.

A desire to create.
Not manage people who manage people who manage processes.

That question followed me home.
Into quiet moments.
Into long drives.
Into conversations with myself.

“Is this all?”

Not because the work was bad.
But because my hands were no longer shaping anything real.

That question was not dissatisfaction.
It was a signal.

Some questions do not ask for answers.
They ask for courage.

And once you hear it clearly…
you cannot unhear it.

New Book Release – The Favoriot Way: A Life Built on Curiosity and Courage

I never intended to write a book about my life. For the longest time, I believed my story was ordinary. A boy who loved robots. A student who worked hard. A man who moved from academia to corporate, from research labs to startup chaos. Nothing spectacular. Nothing worth documenting.

But as the years passed, people began asking me the same question.
“How did you do it?”

Not in a way that demanded formulas or secret tricks, but in a way that revealed genuine curiosity.

“How did you keep going?”
“How did you reinvent yourself so many times?”
“What kept you believing when others doubted you?”
“What pushed you to start Favoriot so late in life?”

I realised then that this story was not really about me. It was about the lessons hidden between the chapters. Lessons about resilience, curiosity, courage and purpose. Lessons shaped by struggles most people never saw. Lessons carved not by success, but by the quiet decisions to keep moving forward.

This book is not a list of achievements. It is not a formula for success. It is not a polished story told from a pedestal. It is a reflection of a life shaped by small sparks, broken radios, unexpected losses, second chances, relentless learning, surprising turns and a belief that Malaysia can build technology that matters.

I wrote this for the young engineer who doubts his potential.

For the student who feels invisible in a big system.
For the entrepreneur who fears starting too late.
For the dreamer who keeps ideas hidden because of what others might say.
For the person standing at the edge of a decision, whispering, Can I really do this?

If my journey teaches anything, let it be this:

You do not need the perfect moment to begin.
You do not need the loudest voice to make an impact.
You do not need to be young to chase a dream.
You just need the courage to take the first step and the purpose to keep going.

The chapters ahead are pieces of my life told honestly, sometimes painfully, sometimes joyfully, but always with the hope that they help someone see their own path more clearly.

Thank you for reading this.

Thank you for letting me share my story.

And thank you for believing, even in small ways, that our country can build a future filled with possibilities.

The journey continues.

I am grateful to walk part of it with you.

We’re Not Just a Startup Anymore

Sometimes, people still introduce us like this:

“Oh, Favoriot? That IoT startup from Malaysia, right?”

And I pause for a second.

Yes, we were.

But are we still?

Let me rewind a bit.

Back in 2017, when we launched Favoriot, it was exactly that — a startup.

A handful of us.

One platform.

A dream to make IoT more accessible, especially for Southeast Asia.

Everything was lean, experimental, unpredictable.

Sometimes the server was more fragile than our optimism.

We pitched, we demoed, we chased leads — and celebrated every small win like it was a moon landing.

But today?

We’re in a different phase.

What Changed?

We’ve got paying customers.

Real ones.

Not just POCs or demos — but full deployments across smart cities, smart agriculture, education, and industry.

We’ve entered partnerships in Indonesia, the Philippines, Canada, India — and we’re not stopping there.

Our platform?

It’s no longer a prototype we hope works when someone opens their laptop.

It’s stable, scalable, and trusted by universities, enterprises, and city councils.

We even built Favoriot Academy — an education arm training hundreds (soon, thousands) of IoT-ready talents.

So, here’s the honest question I asked myself:

“Are we still a startup if we’re already delivering impact at scale?”

What We’ve Outgrown

The “startup” label carries a certain image.

You’re small. You’re scrappy. You’re still figuring things out.

But some things at Favoriot are no longer up for debate:

We know what we do best. We know who we serve. We know what pain points we solve.

We’re not constantly pivoting.

We’re focused on scaling what already works.

What We Still Keep

That said — we haven’t gone corporate.

We’re still fast.

We’re still experimenting.

We still believe in bold ideas and building things that matter.

We don’t have a long chain of decision-making.

You’ll still find me answering messages at odd hours, jumping into customer calls, and reviewing platform feedback with the team.

And we still have that fire — the same one we had when we first started.

So maybe we’re not a startup anymore…

But we’re not slowing down either.

So What Are We Now?

Some call this stage a scale-up.

Some say we’re an emerging tech company.

Others might call us a maturing platform player.

Me?

I say we’re still building.

Still growing.

Still proving that a Malaysian-born IoT platform can stand tall — and go global.

If you’re looking to partner with a company that’s lean enough to care but strong enough to deliver — we might be the right fit.

Not a startup.

Not a giant.

Just real people building real tech — one IoT solution at a time.

Let’s build the future together.

The Last Thing I Learned

What is the last thing you learned?

I often wonder, “Mazlan, at your age, can you still learn something genuinely new?” Well, let me assure you—I absolutely can. Life, especially one intertwined with technology, has a delightful way of keeping even the most seasoned among us humble and curious.

The last thing I learned was about storytelling, not just any kind of storytelling, but storytelling through short-form video, specifically on TikTok. Now, you might be thinking, “TikTok? Mazlan, aren’t you a bit seasoned for that? Isn’t TikTok just dancing teenagers and trendy challenges?” Trust me, I had those exact thoughts myself.

Initially, TikTok felt like uncharted territory, almost alien. As someone who spent decades deeply entrenched in the corporate and academic worlds, making concise yet impactful short-form content was not exactly in my DNA. I was used to elaborate presentations, detailed explanations, and nuanced discussions. But one thing entrepreneurship has repeatedly taught me is adaptability—often the hard way.

It all started when I realised Favoriot needed a fresh, younger audience. We needed to explain IoT in simpler, more digestible chunks, without losing the essence. I asked myself, “Mazlan, how can you explain IoT to someone who might never have heard of it before—and do it in less than 60 seconds?”

At first, the process was a comedy of errors. I recorded my first TikTok in my home office, trying to cram every detail about IoT into a minute. The result? An awkward 59 seconds of rushed speech, complicated jargon, and an expression that clearly said, “I have no idea what I’m doing here.” After rewatching it, even I felt overwhelmed and confused.

“Okay, Mazlan, breathe,” I told myself. “This is just another learning curve—remember when you first encountered blogging? You stumbled, learned, and eventually thrived.” So, back to basics. I studied successful TikTok creators—not the viral dancers, but those who managed to educate effectively and authentically.

What stood out was their storytelling approach—short, focused messages packed with value and personal insight. So, I began scripting my content differently, focusing on just one clear, compelling message per video. Each clip became more straightforward, and I found myself developing a rhythm. I was no longer lecturing; instead, it felt like chatting casually with a curious friend.

And guess what? People started to respond. Comments like “Thank you, Dr. Mazlan, I finally understand IoT!” and “Never thought IoT could be so easy to grasp!” began trickling in. It was astonishing, and incredibly motivating.

The greatest lesson, however, wasn’t just about content creation. It was about humility and openness—recognising that regardless of your past achievements or age, stepping out of your comfort zone remains an essential part of growth. Learning TikTok reminded me that humility, adaptability, and persistence are vital companions in life.

Today, I’m regularly creating content on TikTok, and it genuinely brings me joy to simplify complex IoT concepts for wider audiences. Every new follower, every insightful comment reaffirms this lesson:

You’re never too experienced to learn something new, and the greatest innovations often come when we step into the unknown and embrace being beginners again. So, if you ever find yourself hesitating about exploring unfamiliar ground, remind yourself—”If Mazlan can do TikTok, surely you can take on anything!”

“Retirement? I’m Just Getting Started!” – Why I Hate Being Asked This Question

What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

One question I absolutely hate being asked is: “Why are you still working so hard at your age?”

It’s a question that, at first, seems harmless—maybe even well-intentioned. But every time I hear it, I feel a strange mix of frustration, disbelief, and sometimes even amusement. Why do people assume that age dictates when you should stop pursuing your passions?

The Assumption Behind the Question

I know where this question comes from. Society has conditioned us to believe that there’s a timeline for everything:

• Get a degree in your 20s.

• Build a career in your 30s.

• Reach the peak in your 40s.

• Start slowing down in your 50s.

• Retire and relax in your 60s.

By this logic, someone like me—who has already spent decades in the industry—should be sitting on a beach somewhere, sipping coconut water, and watching the sunset.

But that’s not who I am.

I’ve spent my life immersed in technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Why would I stop now, when I have so much more to contribute?

Passion Doesn’t Have an Expiry Date

People who ask this question seem to believe that work is just about earning a living. They don’t understand that for some of us, work is an extension of who we are.

I don’t see myself as “working hard” in the traditional sense. I see myself as constantly learning, innovating, and sharing my knowledge. Every project, every challenge, and every new development in IoT or AI excites me. The moment I stop engaging with these ideas is the moment I stop growing.

For me, stopping would feel like an early death—at least intellectually.

The Fear of Irrelevance

Another reason I continue pushing forward is the fear of irrelevance. Technology moves at an incredible speed. If you step back, even for a few years, the industry moves on without you. I’ve seen brilliant minds fade away simply because they decided to “take it easy.”

That’s not going to be me.

I want to remain at the forefront of IoT, AI, and Smart Cities. I want to contribute to the discussions, shape the industry, and mentor the next generation of innovators. If that means working just as hard (or even harder) as I did 20 years ago, then so be it.

What People Don’t See

What people don’t see is the fulfillment that comes from what I do. They see the long hours, the constant travel, and the seemingly endless meetings. But they don’t see the joy of watching a startup thrive because of the guidance I provided.

They don’t see the excitement I feel when Favoriot partners with companies across the globe, expanding our impact.

They don’t see the pride in helping universities build IoT curriculums or the satisfaction of watching my ideas take shape in real-world applications.

This isn’t about money. It’s about legacy. It’s about impact.

Redefining “Retirement”

The traditional idea of retirement—where you stop working and just “relax”—doesn’t appeal to me. I would rather redefine retirement as a stage where I have the freedom to choose the projects I want to work on, without financial pressure.

And that’s exactly what I’m doing now.

If retirement means I get to write, teach, mentor, innovate, and continue shaping the future of IoT—then I guess I’m “retired” in my own way.

The Next Time Someone Asks…

The next time someone asks me, “Why are you still working so hard?” I might just smile and say:

“Because I love what I do. And because I’m not done yet.”

The Story Behind Favoriot – Part 3: Why No One Wanted Our IoT Platform—And How We Turned It Around

The Beginning of a Daunting Journey

In 2019, we officially launched our self-developed IoT services with high hopes. The FAVORIOT IoT platform was our pride and joy—a product we believed could transform how data is collected, processed, and visualized. Yet, reality hit us hard. No one wanted to use it.

I still remember the sting of those early days. We offered our platform for free to the first ten customers to gain traction, but even that didn’t work. “Why doesn’t anyone want to use our platform?” I would ask myself almost every night.

It wasn’t just a passing thought but an all-consuming question that kept me awake. Was our product flawed? Did we miss something crucial?

The truth was more complicated to accept than I imagined. The issue wasn’t with our product’s functionality or potential—it was the lack of understanding about IoT itself. People didn’t know how to use an IoT platform because they didn’t know what IoT could do for them. This was not just a technical problem but a knowledge gap that needed bridging.

Planting Seeds of IoT Awareness in Universities

I’ve always believed that education is the foundation of progress. As an Industry Advisory Panel member at several universities, I saw an opportunity to address this knowledge gap. In meetings with lecturers and deans, I passionately advocated for curriculum changes.

“We need to teach students how to use IoT technology more systematically,” I said repeatedly. “It’s not just about theory; it’s about hands-on experience.”

Slowly, my efforts began to bear fruit. Universities started incorporating IoT-focused courses into their programs, and students were introduced to connected devices. Knowing that a new generation of tech-savvy individuals was emerging was a proud moment for me.

But just when I thought the tides were turning, I encountered another challenge.

Why Not Favoriot?

Despite the growing interest in IoT, many students opted for platforms like Blynk and ThingSpeak for their final-year projects. It was disheartening to see them bypass Favoriot. I couldn’t help but wonder, “Why aren’t they choosing us? What does our platform lack compared to these alternatives?”

It wasn’t just about competition—it was about understanding what made those platforms more appealing. I realized that we needed to work harder to showcase Favoriot’s value, unique features, and potential to become the preferred IoT platform for students and professionals.

Introducing Favoriot to the World

Determined to make a change, I began organizing seminars and workshops to introduce the Favoriot IoT Platform to the public. Each event allowed me to share my vision and educate participants about the platform’s capabilities.

I would stand in front of the audience, often a mix of students, lecturers, and industry professionals, and speak with passion:

“This platform is not just for students. It’s for professionals and large companies, too. It’s designed to support larger R&D projects and commercial applications.”

The road wasn’t easy, but gradually, people started paying attention. They saw the potential in Favoriot—not just as another IoT platform but as a solution tailored to meet diverse needs.

The Turning Point

By 2024, our persistence began to pay off. Favoriot was no longer an unknown name in the IoT landscape. Out of 9,375 users (as of January 27, 2025), 80% came from our own country—a milestone that filled me with pride.

“We did it,” I told my team with a sense of accomplishment. “We’ve proven that we can compete with global platforms and carve out our own space.”

The Favoriot IoT Platform is now widely used for collecting data in larger R&D projects and commercial applications. It has become a trusted tool for those who see the power of IoT in solving real-world challenges.

Reflections and Looking Ahead

As I reflect on this journey, I can’t help but feel grateful for the challenges we faced. They taught us resilience, creativity, and the importance of education in driving technological adoption.

But our story doesn’t end here. Favoriot is still evolving, and we’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible. We aim to expand beyond Malaysia, reach users worldwide, and continue empowering individuals and organizations with IoT solutions.

This journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the impact of believing in your vision. I say to anyone facing challenges in their entrepreneurial journey, don’t give up.

Every obstacle is an opportunity to learn, grow, and return stronger.

Stay tuned for the next chapter of our story, where I’ll share how Favoriot continues to innovate and expand its reach.
