Mandala Insights is an independent analyst firm that offers insights, opinions and research on the network technologies that will drive the next billion digital opportunities in Asia.
The mandala had deep roots in Hindu and Buddhist religious and spiritual traditions. A basic interpretation of a mandala is that of a symbol, comprised of geometric patterns representing a microcosm of a universe that is manifold, complex and constantly evolving. Its core is stable and eternal, representing a higher truth that binds the universe and is ultimately attainable by a journey within. We believe that the mandala is a good metaphor for the technology and telecoms industries, with a core DNA that drives ripples of innovation across the world, disrupting and enhancing the worlds adjacent. As a firm, we will seek to analyze these patterns and trends, with a view to always finding the “essence” and delivering valuable insights for our customers.
