See The Best Under A Billion List Of Asia-Pacific's 200 Small And Mid-Sized Companies In Forbes Asia's August Issue
Nikhil Sawhney, vice chairman and managing director of Triveni Turbine. Forbes Asia August 2025 cover S mall and midsized enterprises are a key driver of global economic growth. For over two decades, the best-performing of such companies in the Asia-Pacific region have been highlighted in our Best Under A Billion list. This annual compilation picks 200 companies with sales above $10 million and below $1 billion that are at the top of their game, based on financial and other metrics. Best Under A Billion 2025 Illustration by Terri Po for Forbes Asia A closer look at this stellar group of fast-rising businesses, identified this year by list editors Ardian Wibisono and Yessar Rosendar, from a pool of over 19,000 candidates, reveals emerging trends and often, the hard-charging entrepreneurs behind them. Our cover story subject is one such example. India's Nikhil Sawhney is the vice chairman and managing director of Triveni Turbine, a company appearing on the list for the second year in a row. The Cambridge-educated Sawhney converted his family's domestic maker of steam turbines into a global player of repute in the sub-100 megawatts segment. Nikhil Sawhney, vice chairman and managing director of Triveni Turbine. Harshith Dambekodi for Forbes Asia As Sawhney recounts, since the Triveni brand was virtually unknown compared with the mighty multinationals it competes with, such as Germany's Siemens Energy, he did what minnows have to do: tried harder. This translated into making investments in building the company's tech muscle, which now enables it to offer cost-efficient, customized machines to its clients, who also appreciate Triveni's after-sales service, another big focus of this third-generation entrepreneur. Mariana Beatriz Zobel de Ayala, managing director at Ayala Corporation. geric cruz for forbes asia This edition also spotlights another multigenerational business, which has stood the test of time and is part of the Philippines' 191-year-old Ayala conglomerate. In March, the Zobel de Ayala family picked next-generation family members to drive the group's future: Mariana Beatriz Zobel de Ayala along with her brother Jaime Alfonso and cousin Jaime Urquijo. The eldest daughter of group chairman Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala, Mariana was named managing director of holding company Ayala Corp. with a mandate to oversee the makeover and expansion of the family's vast property portfolio under Ayala Land. The eighth-generation scion doesn't take her new role lightly. As she admits: 'It's a huge responsibility.' Mariana's grandfather, 91-year-old Jamie Zobel de Ayala, is among the wealthiest persons in the Philippines, listed at No. 7 with a net worth of $3.4 billion on the list of Philippines' 50 Richest, another notable compilation in this edition. Despite a fall in the benchmark stock index caused by investor jitters over U.S. tariffs, the wealth of the country's tycoons rose 6% to $86 billion. At a time when immigration has become a hot-button issue in the U.S., the list of America's Richest Immigrants featured in these pages is quite an eye-opener. At the top of this ranking of 125 immigrant billionaires with U.S. citizenship is South Africa-born Elon Musk, with Google's Sergey Brin, who hails from Russia, at No. 2; and Nvidia's Taiwan-born founder Jensen Huang in third place. Altogether there are 40 immigrant billionaires from Asia. Of these, a dozen are from India, forming the biggest cohort of immigrant billionaires in America.
