Applauding the creativity of these leading personalities, Beyond Exclamation has dedicated this issue titled, “The 10 Most Innovative Business Leaders to Follow in 2021” to them. Featuring on the cover of this issue is the success story of Kris Poria, Co-founder and CEO of EarlyBirds a Business to Business (B2B) platform for tech Innovators (Startups/Scaleups/Mature) and Early Adopters (Organisations looking for innovations) to exchange value early on. Kris is a successful and highly achieving international businessman who has combined a thirst for learning with a determination to improve business functionality throughout his career. Born in a humble farming community in rural India, at the age of 16, Kris spent three months at an English school with no understanding of the English language. His love and inquisitive nature of software saw him become a Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer and leave his native country to gain international experience in Europe and America. Kris did not turn back since then and climbed the ladder of success with hard work and passion, becoming a successful and innovative leader today.
