LONDON and KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EX3 today announced a significant milestone in its Asia-Pacific (APAC) growth journey, marked by continued expansion in Malaysia, a newly formalised SAP partnership, and further investment in regional leadership.

As part of its broader APAC growth strategy, EX3 has strengthened its presence in Malaysia, with headcount increasing to 21 employees—an addition of four new team members in the last six months alone, with additional two expected by end of May 2026.

Jas Rai, CEO of EX3, added:
“EX3 is on a strong global growth trajectory, and our expansion in APAC is a critical part of that journey.
