M1, Rakuten form e-commerce tie-up

Singapore

M1 has turned some of its attention to e-commerce through a partnership with Rakuten Singapore that is the first of its kind between the Japanese online marketplace and a local company.

As part of the collaboration, M1's corporate clients will get a three-month subscription waiver when they launch their e-commerce business on the Rakuten Singapore Online Shopping marketplace, the operator said on Monday.
