CEO Message
To Our shareholders and investors
To Our shareholders
and investors
AnyMind Group was founded in April 2016 in Singapore. With our origins in Asia, we develop and provide proprietary platforms in e-commerce, marketing, production management and logistics. Since our establishment, our average annual revenue growth rate from 2017 to 2022 was 54%, with revenue exceeding ¥27 billion for the fiscal year ending December 2022.
We will continue to expand the value we provide to our clients from our 13 markets where we have an in-market presence, and as a company we are still in the process of growth.
We’re making it exciting for everyone to do business
At AnyMind Group, we exist to make it exciting for everyone to do business. This is because we believe that doing business can and should be exciting for everyone. We’re looking to turn our various platforms into the next generation of business infrastructure, creating a world where any passion, any dream, and any idea can create new value through our technology.
Make every business borderless
Our mission is to make every business borderless, and we are looking to break down borders for individuals and companies to do business. From borders between customers and brands, online and offline spaces, countries and regions, industries and functions, and more. With Asia as the foundation, we will continue to expand and empower the world to become borderless.
We have established the maximization of gross profit as a key management indicator for further business growth, and are focusing on the following areas, starting with Asia, which is still seeing growth in population and economies:
・Maximize value by investing in people and technology
・Expansion of growth through cross-selling and cross-border business
・Accelerating global growth through mergers & acquisitions
Maximize value by investing in people and technology
We currently offer a range of platforms that can be used individually or as part of a greater suite, which enables our customers to achieve strong growth by shortening the time from development to delivery as much as possible, and by expanding into multiple markets simultaneously.
These platforms were developed to enable global expansion, and our country managers, who have in-depth knowledge of local markets, maximize the value of our offerings by thoroughly localizing them for each market.
In order to achieve medium- to long-term growth, we will continue to invest in people and technology.

Accelerating global growth through mergers & acquisitions
To date, we have acquired seven companies based across Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, India, and more. The main objectives of these acquisitions were for acqui-hiring, expansion into new business lines and regions, and add to our sales channels - all of which resulted in significant contributions to the company after the acquisitions.
When comparing the revenue of these seven companies at the time of acquisition with their current revenue, the result is a significant average growth in scale by 2.6 times. We believe that we should continue to be proactive in acquiring companies that have current and future synergies with our business, across the world, and we will continue to vigorously pursue a prudent but bold M&A strategy in order to grow our business globally and make it exciting for everyone to do business.
The road ahead
In our first six years, we have achieved considerable growth, but I can say that we are only getting started. We will aim for high growth over the medium- to long-term on a global scale by continuing to develop new technologies, deliver new opportunities for our customers, and acquire and scale the right companies.
I would like to ask for the continued support and encouragement of our shareholders and investors, as we continue to make it exciting for everyone to do business.
