### Company Focus and Strategy
To start 2022, InCountry Founder & CEO Peter Yared sat down with staff to discuss some company-related questions.

**– How did the idea of creating a data residency company come about?**

PY: We came up with this idea even before GDPR. Marc and I started working on the company five years ago actually, and the basic thesis was every country would want to manage their citizens’ data. ...

**-Where is the company’s focus in 2022?**

PY: To intensify our relationships in China, Saudi Arabia, and other key markets, and then expand our offerings into payments and other sectors like IoT.

**-What role will China play in the company’s future?**

PY: A huge role. It’s the second largest economy in the world, multinational companies want to operate there, and many do, and it’s critical that they comply with local laws there.

**-What role will India play in the company’s future?**

PY: It’s interesting, we have a lot of interest from India. It’s the third highest number of hits to our website and it’s one of the top markets where payments are regulated.

**-What is the single achievement InCountry has had that you’re most proud of?**

PY: It’s the result of the achievement, which is that we have a lot of Fortune 100 companies storing basically the only copy of highly regulated sensitive data with us.

**– What can you recommend for companies that start thinking about data compliance?**

PY: It’s a funnel. The first thing you have to figure out is what data do I have to manage? ... There’s companies that can help you with that, like BigID.
