Hi, I’m Ajay Sunder

Over the last 14 years, I have worked with some of the leading telecom operators, regulators and government bodies in the region. I have also led some key strategic consulting projects on market entry strategy, new services/product roadmap for some of the leading telecom operators/vendors in the region. I have worked in the Investment side, Research /Advisory side which gives me good exposure to the ICT trends across the regions from the North Asian markets of Japan, Korea, Taiwan to ANZ to the booming South East Asian economy. I have also been frequently featured in leading media, namely Bloomberg,, CNBC, BBC, Channel News Asia, Singapore Business Times and Straits Times for my opinions/views on trends in the APAC markets. In my previous role I was the Vice President for Frost & Sullivan’s Digital Transformation team – Responsible for the ICT Research and Consulting services across the APAC region.
