Lakshman Das Asogan is the co-founder and chief revenue officer of Lapasar. This Malaysian B2B wholesale tech-enabled platform connects various FMCG brands directly to retailers across multiple verticals.

He has a bachelor of business management and marketing from Keele University and a business management degree from Kolej KDU. He also has a foundation in science from SEGi College Kota Damansara. He has previous experience as an operations director at Raxxon Diagnostic Sdn Bhd and a sales executive at NEC Healthcare Sdn Bhd.

He is skilled in sales, operations, business development, strategic planning, and marketing. He is passionate about disrupting the B2B wholesale market and providing small retailers with more choices, better pricing, and more efficient logistics through economies of scale. He leads a team of 250 young and energetic people who share his vision of becoming the largest online B2B wholesale platform in Malaysia.
