This Bangkok Entrepreneurs news report highlights the ascent of Khanisorn and his startup 24X, which currently boasts over 50,000 active users in Thailand and Singapore. The platform’s appeal lies in its seamless interface, reliable service technicians, and transparent pricing model—features that have helped build significant customer loyalty in a relatively short time.
From Startup Spark to Investor Magnet
Khanisorn’s background in engineering and user experience design gave him a strong foundation to tackle a market often plagued by inconsistency and inefficiency. But it wasn’t just tech-savviness that propelled 24X forward—it was strategic thinking. In 2023, Khanisorn and his team raised $4.3 million (roughly 157 million baht) from a mix of Thai venture capitalists and international backers.
The funding was used to expand operational infrastructure, scale marketing, and enhance their proprietary tech stack, which uses predictive algorithms to match service requests with technicians.
24X has already outgrown the typical Thai startup trajectory. With operations spreading across multiple provinces and now making inroads into Singapore, the company has announced plans to go public via a domestic initial public offering. Industry insiders speculate that the IPO could position 24X as one of the most lucrative Thai tech offerings in recent years, further boosting Khanisorn’s status as a rising business icon.
Innovating the Everyday with Purpose
What sets Khanisorn apart is his grounded approach to entrepreneurship. Instead of chasing trendy verticals like crypto or AI, he has zeroed in on solving everyday frustrations with scalable solutions. “People often underestimate the power of simplicity,” he said in a recent interview. “We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel. We’re just making the wheel turn faster and smarter.”
The 24X app now features live tracking, instant reviews, technician ratings, and even energy-saving consultations—all with an aim to bring transparency and convenience to households and offices alike. The platform also promotes fair labor practices by offering technicians stable contracts and benefits, which has helped with retention and service consistency.
More Than a Businessman
Khanisorn’s ambition doesn’t end with just business expansion. He has also become an advocate for nurturing Thailand’s tech talent, mentoring university startups and speaking at events about ethical entrepreneurship. He believes Thailand’s future rests not just in innovation, but in creating value that’s accessible and sustainable. His story is already inspiring a new generation of digital entrepreneurs to think big, start local, and act responsibly.
The rise of Khanisorn Meepong symbolizes a critical shift in the Thai startup ecosystem—one that prioritizes utility over vanity and customer trust over short-term gains. His journey from young tech enthusiast to entrepreneurial trailblazer reminds us that real innovation is less about hype and more about solving real problems.
