Former eFishery CEO Gibran Huzaifah has said that Dilhan Pillay, chief executive of Singapore’s Temasek, contacted him personally on WhatsApp to get an allocation on a US$90 million funding round in 2021, according to a Bloomberg News report.

Since Pillay has a reputation for rarely contacting founders for pitches, his outreach was a “a big deal,” the ex-eFishery boss said. Temasek declined to comment on Huzaifah’s remarks.
