Recently, Marketing In Asia (MIA) published their highly anticipated 100 Most Inspirational LinkedIn Icons In Malaysia You Should Follow In Its 2020 List. Eight Malaysian Indians have made it to the list of the third edition of influencers on LinkedIn. It serves yet as the best platform to look for inspiration from those who have succeeded through the tough times.
