We recently asked members of our global Google Business Group (GBG) community of entrepreneurs who use Google to share how tech allows them to do extraordinary things. We received hundreds of submissions from GBG members around the world.

Out of 9 global finalists, 5 stories began in Asia. Now it’s your turn. Tell us which story inspires you most, and we’ll reward whomever gets the most votes with some fantastic prizes.

From an online platform that helps protect and empower women to speak out against harassment in public, to the first app in Nepal to connect restaurants and food-lovers, and by doing so, is also helping bring more businesses online, check out the five Asian stories below. Then vote for your favorite by giving them a thumbs-up in the upper-right of the video. Votes must be made by December 1 and stay tuned as we announce the winners on December 15.
