How Tech in Asia goes beyond mere news reporting

Dear readers,

Happy holidays! As we take stock of the year, one of the biggest moves we’ve made was launching a subscription program. We’re grateful for all the support we’ve gotten so far.

One of the reasons why we did so was to give ourselves the resources to go beyond the mere reporting of facts.

We were the only ones to analyze the legal implications of Go-Jek’s copying of Grab’s maps.

We were also the only ones who did a detailed reporting of luxury ecommerce player Reebonz’s financials as it goes for its IPO on the Nasdaq.

We hope to do more of such reporting in the coming year. But as you know, articles like these require hours upon hours of work. Your support will go a long way in helping us add depth to the coverage of Asia’s tech industry.

If you’re not a subscriber, do give us a shot, just like how decision-makers from the top tech companies have done so.

Here are the subscriber-only reads that we’ve published in the past week:
