‼️ 🧠 Rogo Technologies Inc., an AI startup whose clients include some of the world’s largest investment banks, is doubling down on Asia by making Singapore the hub of its APAC expansion and opening a new office there while also recruiting in Tokyo and Sydney.

With plans to grow its regional headcount to 150–200 by the end of next year, Rogo is betting that more Asian financial firms are ready to embed AI deeper into their workflows, a move supported by Singapore’s top ranking on the IMF’s AI Preparedness Index and the fact that 64% of its financial institutions are already actively deploying AI across key business functions.
