Introduction

Forbes magazine is well-known for its lists, be it “Forbes 30 under 30” or “100 to watch”. Being in these lists is a goal for many and can be useful to gain the popularity and trust of audiences. In this year’s Forbes 100 To Watch list of Asia, Sehat Kahani was the only Pakistani company added. 

What is a Forbes 100 to watch list?

The Forbes family and Integrated Whale Media Investments jointly own the American business publication called Forbes. It has articles on the business, industry, investing, and marketing themes and is published eight times a year. Related topics including technology, communications, science, politics, and law are covered by Forbes as well.

The second Forbes Asia 100 to Watch list highlights the traits of innovation, resilience, and capacity for change as Asia-Pacific transitions into the post-pandemic phase. In this list, Forbes highlighted 100 small businesses and startups from the region that are using creative thinking and ground-breaking goods and services to tackle real-world problems. These include quicker blood testing, more easily available senior care options, and well-being apps to support people experiencing loneliness or burnout. Other items on our list combat climate change, for instance, with super-durable batteries and more resilient crops. Some provide fin-tech solutions to connect and digitalize underserved markets.
