Business magazine Forbes released yesterday (April 20) its sixth annual 30 Under 30 Asia list, which features 300 young entrepreneurs, leaders and trailblazers across the region under the age of 30.
They have been recognised by Forbes for braving the challenging environment brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic and finding new opportunities amidst the new normal.
Although the pandemic has been tough on everyone, some entrepreneurs on the list have managed to grow their business and raise, in some cases, tens of millions of dollars in funding — totalling over US$1 billion.
