It currently engages in educational publishing and offers an integrated digital platform (www.asianentrepreneur.org) for readers to access content that is curated and produced by a dedicated team of international authors and contributors. Beyond media, The Asian Entrepreneur is also actively engaged in various community-level initiatives such as events organization, consulting services and investment sourcing with various stakeholders in Malaysia, Singapore, India, Indonesia, Japan and China.
The proceeds from the latest financing round will be used for international expansion plans as well as corporate restructuring according to official statements. “The Asian Entrepreneur hopes that this latest round of investments will help it navigate through the uniquely changing landscapes of media and content consumption which necessitates corporate changes.
