Sid Shah is president of The Wild East Group, a branding agency in Mumbai, India. The firm recently launched the first celebrity brand in India.

Victor Limlingan won the Philippine SEC license to operate the first privately owned alternative trading system, tresdaq.com, an electronic marketplace for trade receivables. Tresdaq is based on the concept that most firms in emerging markets don’t operate in the formal sector, and thus do not have access to traditional financing. They do, however, supply large corporations and multinationals that operate formally, thus their receivables can be transformed into marketable securities and sold to generate financing. Victor is the co-CEO.
