About TAQELAH
TAQELAH stands for Test Automation & Quality Engineering, Lah! — a name that blends technical excellence with Singaporean charm.
What Does “Lah” Mean?
If you’ve spent any time in Singapore, you’ve definitely heard “lah” — it’s a friendly, expressive word that adds warmth and personality to our speech. At TAQELAH, we embrace that same spirit of friendliness and inclusivity in everything we do.
