“We got our small breakthrough in animation and the best thing to do was to focus,” he stated. While it was hard to part from his team members and friends, he believes it was the right thing to do since his heart was no longer in it. Though the application was rejected in 2011, it was finally accepted in 2013.Īt the same time, Sinan shuttered his wedding services. Soon after, Didi & Friends was submitted to Cradle for an investment programme.
With an empty stomach and a pounding heart, the MC announced Didi & Friends: The Science Explorers, as one of the 10 IPCC winners of 2012.

In 2012, Sinan submitted Didi & Friends: The Science Explorers.Īrmed with the lessons learnt from the IPCC 2009 experience, Sinan was more prepared this time around. “I rehearsed, recorded myself, and edited my pitch on the laptop. That pitch failed, and so did the following one in 2010. As they grew, Sinan and his team participated in Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC)’s Intellectual Property Creators Challenge (IPCC) competition 3 times, the first time being in 2009. Growing up to parents who were both lecturers, Sinan knew that he wanted to create cartoons that could instil positive values in children. The visuals are amazing, the storytelling is superb, and most importantly, there is always a good message to be learnt.” “What influenced me most and built my love for animation was definitely Toy Story and Pixar movies. All of these cartoons had a big impact on me,” Sinan shared. “I grew up loving cartoons like Transformers, ThunderCats, and Care Bears.

Holding onto a dreamīuilding Digital Durian to what it has become today was a long time coming for Sinan. His new goal? To build a tech startup, Durioo, into a version of Disney and Netflix for Muslim children. Now, the entrepreneur of 13 years is moving on to bigger things. Since launching Didi & Friends on YouTube in 2014, it’s achieved about 5 billion views, sold over 800 types of merchandise, and hosted carnivals along with concerts for Malaysian families. As the CEO and co-founder of Digital Durian, he’s published titles like Didi & Friends and Omar & Hana. Sinan Ismail will know this as a fact, as he’s been making educational content for children for almost 10 years. I also found that the latter was the most effective learning method for me while being very enjoyable. There’s also a huge market for this kind of content, and reception will take off if it’s done right.
