Since then, the growth of technology has scaled exponentially, leading to the 3rd millennium, which is nothing less than a big bang of innovation. Entrepreneurial ventures riding on simple but ground breaking ideas led to startups, eventually turning them into industrial giants. Consider Google, a research project of two Stanford graduates went on to become a multiple-billion-dollar search engine that essentially commands the internet today. Similarly, backyard inventors and garage startups have become leaders in the technology that we hold in our hands, changing the way of our lives with every tick of the clock. The Asia-pacific region is home to some of the most exceptional startups to disrupt the technological spectrum; venture capital has become one of the most sought out endeavors as enterprise startup grows to significant heights, attaining higher ranks in the stock market. Adding to the growth, digitalization has become one of the vital catalysts that aid enterprise startups in achieving significant success in their respective domains. For instance, banks and financial institutions of the yesteryears have been revolutionized by the fintech industry, paving the way for sophisticated functionalities to be made accessible through simpler methodologies. Some of the early startups have nearly eliminated the need for on-premise infrastructure by utilizing cloud-technology and deploying necessary services entirely over the cloud. Such examples are plenty in number, supporting the role of technology in enhancing the lifestyle of every individual. On that note, we bring you the Enterprise Startup Special of the latest APAC CIOOutlook issue with insights from industry leaders, connoisseurs, and ground-breaking solution providers. This Enterprise Startup edition is intended to assist multi-unit business owners, venture capitalists, and technology enthusiasts to catch the drift of the industry and rightfully leverage value from it. We hope to have done justice to the genre by bringing together the best of the best. Let us know your thoughts.
