6 Malaysian startups make it to Forbes Asia's '100 to Watch' list

Free Malaysia Today reported in August 2023 that Lapasar was among six Malaysian companies selected for Forbes Asia's third annual "100 to Watch" list — a curated shortlist of the most promising small companies and startups across the Asia-Pacific region.

What the Recognition Means

The Forbes Asia 100 to Watch list evaluates companies on growth trajectory, business model innovation, and capacity to scale. Inclusion places Lapasar in the company of the most closely watched emerging businesses across a region spanning more than 30 countries.

Grounded in Operating Reality

The recognition comes as Lapasar continued to expand both its enterprise procurement division and its FMCG wholesale operations. Unlike platforms that aggregate listings without fulfilment, Lapasar's model is built on owned logistics — a fleet and warehousing network that backs every transaction with a guaranteed service level.
