Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
CEO Martin Shen highlighted crossing the $10 million annual revenue threshold as a key milestone, signaling an acceleration of revenues and earnings. The company plans to expand mobile hardware sales via Pinduoduo and TMall and deepen its China Unicom partnership. The Sapientus big data platform is targeted for beta testing by year-end and commercialization in Q1 2022, focusing on the insurance technology sector.
