It is so interesting that in the west, focused technology companies have tended to dominate. "swiss army knife" is a pejorative, usually. But Sea, Tencent, etc have won being "all things to all people." Trying to figure out all the reasons why this is the case.

Have you read Asian Godfathers by Joe Studwell? Would be interested in your perspective if you have. Not specifically related to technology companies but focused on conglomerates in Southeast Asia

I’m actually reading it now. It provides one piece of the puzzle, but doesn’t answer the question directly. 🙂
