Real-time Social Networking Company TIYA Establishes Global Headquarters In Singapore
February 07 2022 - 5:30AM
TIYA, a real-time social
networking platform backed by US-listed company LIZHI INC. (NASDAQ:
LIZI), announced the official opening of its global headquarters in
Singapore today. The all-new global hub will accelerate the brand’s
official launch into Singapore, with the audio-based app made
available for download, as early as the first quarter of 2022.
The 10,000 square foot TIYA space located in the
centre of the Central Business District, represents a growing
strategic investment for the brand, since making its debut in the
USA, in 2020. With key in-app features that enable ‘live’ social
networking, TIYA offers users the experience of real-time,
off-the-cuff conversations, by leveraging on the emotion of the
human voice.
In tandem with its expansion strategy, the new
space emulates its contemporary vision of ‘design with purpose’.
Having performed an in-depth geographical assessment, TIYA narrowed
in on Singapore as the chosen city for its global headquarters,
with the aim of reflecting their commitment to innovate and invest
in the region. TIYA has since built a creative space, designed on
an overarching concept of promoting collaboration and community as
part of their on-going mission and vision for the company.
Located at Mapletree Anson, alongside other
large corporations such as Yahoo and Goldman Sachs, the flagship
office will serve as an ode to the brand’s instantly recognizable
aesthetic. The new headquarters will be home to in-house functions
including departments such as Big Data, Human Resource, User
Research, Administration and Operation, that will support TIYA’s
technology platform and product development plans. TIYA is also
looking to expand its staff strength, with a fully operational team
in Singapore by the end of 2022, as it looks to progressively
launch its latest version of the app around the world.
TIYA also plans to amplify its hiring with a
graduate employment programme and has established its inaugural
talent partnership with the Nanyang Technological University,
Singapore (NTU Singapore)’s Career & Attachment Office. The
programme will be the first of many future collaborations, as TIYA
looks to offer students invaluable career opportunities with the
brand.
Jinnan (Marco)
Lai, Chairman of TIYA,
commented “We are very excited to be establishing a permanent
presence in Singapore, as it is an essential milestone that is
aligned to our global geographical expansion strategy. Our
audio-based ecosystem will reinvent the social networking norms and
will revolutionise the way communities and interest groups
interact. We are confident that with the introduction of TIYA in
Singapore and with our local team of world class talents, we will
be able to achieve greater success in the region.”
“At TIYA, we strongly believe in the importance
of cultivating young talent and with our new home in Singapore,
there will certainly be many career opportunities offered to fresh
graduates, who will in turn fuel TIYA’s continuous innovation and
progression,” he added.
Prof Tan Ooi Kiang, Deputy Provost
(Education) of NTU Singapore, said “The University is
always looking to establish close partnerships with top industry
players, such as TIYA, to meet their talent needs. This also gives
our graduates more opportunities for internship and industry
experience, which expand their horizons and career prospects. We
look forward to fostering a stronger talent partnership with TIYA
in the future."
Currently, TIYA App has had nearly 20 million
downloads worldwide, the latest version of the app will also be
launched globally in Q1 2022.
