TICKLED Media, the startup behind parenting portal theAsianparent, is set to launch an e-commerce venture targeting mothers this year, CEO Roshni Mahtani told The Business Times.
Ms Mahtani's remarks come after a KrASIA report on Feb 1 that the company was talking to investors, including Alibaba's Ant Financial and Chinese conglomerate Fosun, on a new round of funding at a pre-money valuation of US$60 million. She declined to comment on the KrASIA report.
