theAsianParent, Singapore-based social network for parents, today announces that it has appointed former Rocket Internet JV Asia Pacific CFO, Jatin Detwani, to join theAsianparent to lead its Corporate Finance, Commercial, and Strategy function. This appointment follows theAsianparent’s recent senior hire of former Dentsu Aegis Network (DAN) China CEO Susana Tsui as CEO of Media last month.
Detwani comes onboard bringing his experiences in working directly with technology companies – both as founder and leaders of startups such as APAC CFO of Rocket Internet JV; managing over 15 businesses in the Asia Pacific region, and as CFO of GEM Eduventures in London: the investment arm of GEMS Education group.
For his new role at theAsianparent, the company said Detwani will implement and drive new strategic, commercial, and tech initiatives targeting to propel the business towards US$100 million revenue within the next few years, which includes financial improvements, transformation, and implementation of various technology and product-related strategies for the company.

“We are delighted to welcome Jatin, who comes on board at an exciting time where we are expanding into new markets. We believe his appointment will help us strengthen our position in the industry and make better investments into our future,” said Roshni Mahtani, Founder and Group CEO, theAsianparent.
theAsianParent has grown from a parenting blog into a multinational content platform and social network, with 200 employees spread across 12 countries.
In July this year, the company closed an oversubscribed series C funding round, backed by Chinese giants including Fosun and JD.com. The company stated its intention to expand across Asia and to Africa.
