BANGKOK -- Japanese trading house Itochu is investing $1 million in Eko Communications, a tech startup launched by an heir to the Charoen Pokphand Group, a major Thai conglomerate.
Eko was launched in 2012 by Korawad Chearavanont, the son of Supachai Chearavanont, chief executive of CP Group. It offers businesses a secure chat room along with a comprehensive team communication platform that enables co-workers to share files, teleconference, or even apply for leave.
