TIA Lite: A more affordable subscription plan

Dear Readers,

Today, we’re excited to launch TIA Lite, a subscription plan for our readers worth only US$19 per quarter or $59 per year.

At $59 a year, TIA Lite costs just $4.92 a month or $0.17 a day – perfect for today’s economy. And it is certainly more affordable than the boba, donburi, or thunder tea rice you’re having delivered to your house every day.

As TIA Lite subscribers, you’ll enjoy access to four pieces of premium content per month, unlimited news reports, visual stories, an ad-free reading experience, and more.

All existing subscribers will be under the TIA Core plan, and you’ll continue to get unlimited access to our premium content, company database, and – coming soon – virtual events.

We strive to bring you a variety of insights every day. But sometimes, one valuable report is all you need to drive your business or career to greater heights and see positive return-on-investment. We know that whether you’re a Lite or Core subscriber, staying close to innovations in Asia is important to you. Here are some of the work that our subscribers love:

• Is Disney finding India’s Hotstar too hot to handle?
• Indonesia’s bid to regulate online lending
• Zilingo’s layoffs expose internal fault lines
• Why Indonesia’s economy will experience a boom in this decade
• TikTok capturing users’ hearts, but not the marketers’ bucks?
• Honestbee founder’s biggest lie in a web of deceit
• Inside Stoqo’s sudden demise

TIA Lite is also a reflection of what you want. We did a survey a few months ago and learned that you’d like us to offer different price plans for different wallets. We did exactly that, and we hope you like it.

Through the same survey, we were pleased to know that you’re generally happy with the content our editorial team tirelessly produces. That said, we still have a lot more to offer in the future as we continuously make improvements to our newsroom and content.

Thanks to the thousands of readers who’ve subscribed to us, we’re in a position to invest resources into producing content that you need and love. FYI, we’re hiring: If you’re a brilliant journalist, please send in your application.

Stay safe and keep on reading, building, and shipping.

Cheers,
Willis
