Our take

Asana is a web and mobile application designed to help teams organize, track, and manage their work. Acting as a unified hub, it empowers teams to effortlessly generate projects, delegate responsibilities, set deadlines, and foster direct task-related communication, transcending the inefficiencies of traditional email-based coordination.

Despite facing competition from established players like SmartSheet in its market, Asana has navigated its path, bolstered by a successful Initial Public Offering in 2020 and a track record of startup triumphs. This strategic prowess has propelled Asana to amass a robust clientele exceeding 100,000 organizations, boasting notable entities such as Uber and Air France among its ranks.

Since its inception, Asana has undergone exponential growth, with its reach extending to offices sprawled across four continents worldwide. This expansion not only underscores its global footprint but also signifies its commitment to fostering diverse talent pools and catering to a broad spectrum of clients.
