SHASHANK DIXIT

WHY HIM? Clouds—the tech, online data storage kind, not the condensed water vapour—are everything these days. Shashank Dixit understood that way back in 2008 when he founded Deskera, a provider of cloud-based software solutions for small and mid-sized businesses. Almost a decade on, the company operates across Southeast Asia and aims to be listed soon on Catalist, the Singapore Exchange’s junior board. PSST... Dixit was an awardee at the 2016 Asia Pacific Entrepreneurship Awards.
