Ehsan's Market Analysis

I track hr technology closely in Shanghai because it exemplifies a pattern I see across Asia Pacific: high talent density at $55K average salaries creates an opportunity window. The 87/100 tech score means infrastructure is ready, but go-to-market strategies need localization. The winners in this market invest 30% more in local partnerships than global competitors.
