Through MOZAT, its mobile social platform, it is now serving 16 million subscribers worldwide, with strong presence in the Middle East and is now widening its footprint in the Asia Pacific region.

“Because Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific measures sustained revenue growth over three years, being one of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in Asia Pacific is an impressive achievement,” said Yoshitaka Asaeda, partner in charge of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific program. ”Mozat deserves a lot of credit for its remarkable growth.”

Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific selection and qualifications
The Technology Fast 500 list is compiled from the Deloitte Asia Pacific Technology Fast 50 programs, nominations submitted directly to the Technology Fast 500, and public company database research. To qualify for the Technology Fast 500, entrants must have had base-year operating revenues of at least US$ 50,000. 

Entrants must also be public or private companies headquartered in Asia Pacific and must be a “technology company,” defined as a company that develops or owns proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company’s operating revenues; or manufactures a technology-related product; or devotes a high percentage of effort to the research and development of technology.  Using other companies’ technology in a unique way does not qualify.
