Somdutta’s Early Life: A Glimpse of Her Journey
Growing up with doctor parents and surrounded by businesspeople, Som witnessed the contrasting realities of rigorous schedules and work-life balance. She defied pressure from her family to follow in the footsteps of her parents by forging her own journey in order to attain independence and flexibility. She dared to dream of travel and entrepreneurship, becoming the first generation entrepreneur from her family.
This exceptional woman worked odd jobs throughout her undergraduate years to pay for her dreams. Eventually, she pursued her studies in the US and launched her first business – an ad-tech company – while also nurturing her direct-to-consumer private-label ventures.
“Embracing this philosophy, I have successfully realized my passion while inspiring others to join me on this journey towards success.” – Somdutta Singh
A Comprehensive Overview of Assiduus Global
Assiduus Global is Somdutta’s third business endeavour. Between 2014 and 2017, she developed a number of direct-to-consumer private-label products that were sold on significant websites including Amazon and Walmart. But as her company grew, she became aware of the difficulties of expanding a brand internationally-foreseeing customer demand, getting through challenges with languages, and assuring regulatory compliance.
This vision led Somdutta to start Assiduus Global, facilitating worldwide e-commerce for other businesses. Assiduus offers a comprehensive digital distribution system that addresses demand forecasts, sales, analytics, and regulatory compliance.
Since 2018, Assiduus Global has made waves in the realm of cross-border e-commerce, helping brands accelerate their global sales through full-stack tech-enabled middleware for digital distribution and supply chain management. Focusing on markets such as the USA, Canada, India, SEA, GCC, and EMEA/UK, the platform provides valuable statistics to inform decision-making.
With a stellar track record, managing over $300 million in global GMV with zero attrition since launch and a remarkable 900% growth in 2022, Assiduus Global has garnered accolades. It secured the No. 8 position in the Deloitte Fast 50 in 2022 and was recognized as one of America’s Top 600 firms by Inc. 5000 in 2021.
“Our expertise and experience have earned the trust of our esteemed clients, as we currently manage $300+ million in GMV globally. With Assiduus Global, we are confident in our ability to guide your brand towards success,” proudly asserted the leading lady.

Diversity and Inclusion in Assiduus Global
