Arvinthan Rengaraju and his wife, Chan Heng Leng used to be in the events and F&B business before their toy story came to life. The pandemic forced them to make a major pivot into the toy business, and eventually online warehouse sales, where they now sell well-known products by big brands for limited flash sale events, with discounts of up to 90%. The couple (with a special appearance from a surprise guest) talk to us about their harrowing adventure in the time of Covid, and what’s next for their platform and business dreams.
