Inside the May issue of The CEO Magazine Asia, read our exclusive interview with Ankiti Bose. She’s on track to becoming the first Indian woman to found a billion-dollar startup, but the down-to-earth Zilingo Co-Founder and CEO tells why success should be measured by impact rather than status. We also take a look at the other companies around the world that are tipped to be the next unicorns, discover how Sir Richard Branson's Virgin brand has evolved over 50 years, and examine the top innovations from the world's leading tech event, CES 2021. Plus, we open the treasure chest to reveal the latest high-end jewellery, jump into the new Porsche 911 GT3 and celebrate the 220th anniversary of Breguet’s invention of the tourbillon.
