Searce co-innovates with clients to futurify their businesses across the SEA region with expansions in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

Searce has been named the 2025 Google Cloud Country Partner of the Year award for Southeast Asia at the recent Google Cloud Next 2025 summit.

For Searce, the recognition by Google Cloud highlights its commitment to digitally transforming organizations across the region by partnering with clients to deliver intelligent, impactful, futuristic business outcomes.

According to Yash Thakker - Director, Solutions Consulting, APAC at Searce, the collaboration with Google Cloud has played a pivotal role in helping clients across Southeast Asia push the boundaries of technology and unlock new possibilities through AI and data-driven solutions.

Among the recent customer success stories include a multi-year collaboration with Malaysian unicorn Carsome to drive expansion in its markets.
