We are known for:
Business Outcomes
We are experts in generating value at the interface of technology and business. Business value is always our North Star. Technology is a critical enabler of value creation but it is only a set of tools, not an end in itself. And technical solutions must be supported by complementary business processes to achieve results.
- Direct commercial benefits
- Digital product is sold for a specific price
- Digital product directly reduces cost (e.g. replacing a formerly manual process)
-
Indirect, but quantifiable
commercial benefits - Digital products can have effects on multiple elements of the core value chain
- Benefits can mostly be quantified
- Goodwill-type, less quantifiable benefits
- Digital products can contribute to overall strategic business elements
- These are typically not easily quantifiable but define long-term success

Our Story.
Asia Growth Partners was founded in 2015 under the brand “IoT ONE” by three entrepreneurs who share a passion for understanding the role of digital technologies transforming how businesses operate and compete. As our business scope expanded, we re-branded as Asia Growth Partners to highlight our focus on helping our clients grow their businesses in Asia. We remain dedicated to helping companies navigate the challenges and opportunities driven by the dual forces of digital transformation and market evolution in Asia.
Asia Growth Partners is headquartered in Shanghai with teams in China, India, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States. Despite our focus on Asia, we maintain a strong connection to corporate headquarters in Europe and the North America in order to enable collaboration on strategy development and execution.
