It’s an allegory for the power of teamwork and friendship, and it also just looked really cool on TV. Here at Tech in Asia, we often liken mergers and acquisitions (M&As) to Megazords. After all, M&As are a way for companies to grow stronger and become better versions of themselves, taking their products and services to new heights by combining forces. Today’s premium story features a firm that’s done just that, acquiring another company to grow even more. -- Stefanie  ---------------------------------------------------------------  THE BIG STORY [Singapore’s Toku eyes 50% revenue surge after AiChat acquisition]( Toku, which creates bespoke cloud communications and customer engagement solutions for enterprises, aims to achieve EBITDA breakeven by Q4. --------------------------------------------------------------- TRENDING NEWS [Zilingo ex-CEO’s criminal complaint is retaliation against whistleblowers: source]( Ankiti Bose, who was fired from Zilingo in 2022, claims that co-founder Dhruv Kapoor and ex-COO Aadi Vaidya had misled her and investors.
