He also served as chief financial officer of GEM Eduventures in London - the investment arm of GEMS Education group that invests in funds and technology startups globally.
At Tickled Media, Mr Detwani is tasked to push the business towards a revenue of US$100 million within the next few years, by implementing financial and product strategies. According to regulatory filings checked by BT, Tickled Media recorded S$4 million in revenue in 2017, with a loss after tax of S$1.3 million.
