Learnings from people who tackled China early days are forgotten. Many companies failed in SEA because they just "copy and paste"
Key Learnings:
- Learnings from people who tackled China early days are forgotten. Many companies failed in SEA because they just "copy and paste"
-SEA is more segregated than China but the characteristics with the tier 2, tier 3+ are quite similar
- Make local friends (not just partners). They will help you beyond just your "contract" but business in general
- Don't over simplify localization with translation but think of entering new market of new product development (just that you have unfair advantage with existing features you can piece together much quicker)
- How many more super apps can it be? Think beyond and around it.
