Local shopping website signs deal with Sumitomo

E-commerce website Tiki.vn inked early this week a strategic partnership with Japanese corporation Sumitomo.

A strategic partner of Tiki, the Japanese corporation will own a 30 per cent stake in the Vietnamese e-commerce website, which started by selling books, but now trades in a great variety of products from fashion to electronics.

The deal is a series B round of funding for Tiki, which secured series A funding from the Japanese investment fund CyberAgent Ventures in 2012.

The funding from Sumitomo will help Tiki.vn, in a bid to better serve its customers countrywide, boost investment in their warehouses, delivery network, as well as research and development on new products, the company said in a press release.
