Cinch is a subscription-based Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) platform that allows consumers and businesses to rent, upgrade, or return tech devices, such as smartphones, laptops, and appliances, at a low cost.

This business model aims to extend device lifecycles and reduce carbon emissions. Some of its partners include Samsung Electronics Singapore and CompAsia.

"The way people consume technology is evolving. With rising costs, financing gaps, and increasing regulatory pressure on e-waste, Cinch is leading the shift toward circular access to tech. Beyond a platform, we’re connecting the dots within Asia’s infrastructure for a sustainable tech economy,” Mahir Hamid, CEO & co-founder of Cinch, said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
