[SBS 2026] Keynote: Scaling Across Cultures: What Asia Taught Me before Dubai

Описание: Building in one market can feel permanent until it isn’t. This keynote explores the realities of scaling across volatile environments, from building a multi-vertical media ecosystem in Myanmar to pivoting and expanding into Dubai after political disruption reshaped the entire business landscape. It unpacks the hard lessons of concentration risk, geopolitical exposure, and leadership under crisis and why diversification across products, geography, and identity has become essential for future-proof growth.

Speaker:
Lach Baniya - Forbes 30 Under 30, Founder at Manal Property Advisory
Key takeaways:

→ Diversification must happen on three levels: product, geography, and founder positioning. Sustainable scaling requires multiple revenue streams, multi-market exposure, and personal brand leverage that travels across borders.
→ Social commerce has replaced traditional expansion models. A trusted creator with strong digital infrastructure can enter new markets faster and more efficiently than a company relying solely on heavy distribution and marketing budgets.
→ Geopolitical awareness is now a core business competency. Founders must evaluate political neutrality, currency stability, investor policies, and liquidity structures when choosing where to scale.
→ Community is the ultimate cross-border advantage. Shared values, shared interests, and shared utility create trust ecosystems that convert attention into revenue, turning followers into long-term, high-value supporters.
