APAC Is the Next Unlock. We Built a Partnership to Help You Grow.

Most founders we talk to want North America first. That instinct makes sense. NA has the clearest playbooks, the most documented success stories, and ACVs that are often higher than anywhere else in the world. Boards and investors treat an NA logo as validation. The market operates in English, runs on mature contracting and payment infrastructure, and gives a founder a single large market to chase instead of a patchwork of a dozen smaller ones.


None of that is wrong. But the global landscape is shifting, and the shift is significant enough that ignoring it has a real cost.


The IMF expects Asia-Pacific to drive roughly 60% of global GDP growth this year. Forrester projects the region will spend over $437 billion on new technology between 2026 and 2030, with computer equipment growing 13.7% on the back of AI infrastructure buildout. India's AI market alone is on track to hit $18 billion by 2026. Vietnam's tech spend is set to grow 15.4% in 2026. The Philippines, 12.3%.


This is not a future opportunity. It is happening now, while most B2B companies are still focused entirely on the West.


Why APAC, and why now



A few forces are converging at once:


  1. Capital is following growth, and growth is in APAC. The region houses 4.7 billion people and generates over $43 trillion in nominal GDP. Asia now produces around 72% of the world's semiconductors and 95% of the advanced chips that power AI accelerators. Every dollar US hyperscalers spend on AI infrastructure ends up funding demand for Asian hardware on the back end.

  2. Governments are subsidising adoption, not just allowing it. India's FY2026 budget offers a 21-year tax holiday for foreign companies building AI data centres. Japan raised R&D tax credits to 40-50% for AI and robotics. South Korea bumped tax deductions for AI data centres to 15-25%, up from single digits. It is a region actively paying dividends to companies that invest. 

  3. The contracts are different and better than what most founders expect. Yes, APAC is cost-sensitive. But cost sensitivity comes paired with something founders chasing NA logos rarely get: long-term contracts and lower churn. Once a company earns trust in this market, it tends to keep it for years, not quarters.

  4. AI and cloud adoption is climbing steadily, not in spikes. Data centre electricity consumption in the region nearly doubled between 2020 and 2024 and is expected to triple in the next few years. That is sustained, structural demand, not a one-time announcement cycle.


The opportunity is real. The reason most companies still fail to capture it is not the market. It is the approach.


Why most companies get APAC wrong



APAC is not one market. China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, the Philippines: each operates on its own regulatory logic, buying behaviour, and pace. A single regional playbook built for the US gets applied here and quietly fails.


The deeper issue is this: APAC does not run on a polished landing page and a clever tagline. It runs on trust. On relationships. On someone who can sit across the table and speak the buyer's language, literally and culturally. A VP Engineering in Jakarta is not evaluating your product the same way a VP Engineering in Austin does, and no amount of demand gen software changes that.


Companies show up with great technology and no one in the market who understands how the market actually works. That gap is where deals stall.


The partnership: Kyndrev x Raki Solutions

That gap is exactly why we built this partnership.


  • Kyndrev brings the marketing strategy. We study your ICP, map the competitive landscape, find the gap in positioning that your competitors have left open, and build the messaging and organic growth engine that earns attention before a single sales call happens. This is the work of knowing who you are to the market and why anyone should care.

  • Raki Solutions brings the on-ground demand capture. Through SDR-as-a-service, Raki Solutions puts sales reps in front of your buyers who already understand the market, the buying cycles, and the cultural nuance that decides whether a conversation goes anywhere. These are not reps reading a script written for a different geography. They know the region because they work in it.


Together, we cover both ends of the GTM motion: the strategy that makes a company worth talking to, and the relationships that get a company in the room.



What makes our position uniquely different?

Most agencies sell tools. We sell market understanding and results. 


Every country in APAC has its own rhythm, and we have built real relationships across them, not a generic outbound sequence pointed at a CRM list. That is the differentiation: we have done this work inside the market, not from outside looking in.


Our goal with this partnership is simple. Help B2B tech companies build the brand recall, trust, and pipeline they need to win in a region that rewards patience and punishes shortcuts. If you are serious about APAC and tired of treating it as a someday market, this is the partnership built for that decision.


If you are evaluating APAC expansion in 2026, we would like to talk.
