How ATHR Helped Talkbot International Stay Agile and Compliant Through Corporate Secretary Support
Kenny Tay, CEO of Talkbot International Pte. Ltd., is one of Southeast Asia’s pioneering forces in generative AI. Under his leadership, Talkbot has created multilingual, human-like bots capable of speaking languages such as English, Tagalog, Bahasa, Mandarin, and even Taglish—perfect for authentic, localized customer experiences.
With more than 260 clients across industries like banking, insurance, fintech, and e-commerce, Talkbot is not just deploying AI—it’s shaping the future of customer engagement in the ASEAN region and beyond.
The Hidden Challenge Behind the Innovation
Despite rapid technological success, Talkbot’s internal operations were not immune to the growing pains many high-growth startups face—particularly in the realm of compliance and governance.
As the business expanded across borders, corporate secretarial demands grew more complex. Kenny and his lean executive team faced an increasing need to manage documentation, statutory filings, and regulatory timelines with precision. However, reminders were sporadic, and compliance risks began to accumulate silently in the background.
The ATHR Difference – Proactive, Reliable, and Professional
That’s when Kenny turned to ATHR.
What set ATHR apart was not just technical understanding of corporate governance—but the staff's responsiveness and anticipation. Unlike the other service providers, ATHR offered structured reminders, real-time updates, and fast replies that reduced operational ambiguity.
“We never had to chase them. ATHR kept us on track, ahead of deadlines, and confident in our compliance posture,” Kenny shared.
By offloading critical—but time-consuming—secretarial tasks to ATHR, Talkbot’s leadership could reallocate focus to strategic initiatives, international partnerships, and product development.
A Foundation for Regional Expansion and Investor Confidence
With ATHR’s consistent support, Talkbot not only improved its internal governance but also presented a more mature and investor-ready corporate structure. This became a key differentiator as the company entered conversations with stakeholders across ASEAN markets and pursued collaborations with major insurers and financial institutions.
“A clean, compliant business foundation is what allows innovation to scale,” Kenny emphasized. “ATHR helped us build that foundation.”
Today, Talkbot continues to lead in multilingual AI, deploying solutions that are reshaping customer journeys across Asia. Behind the scenes, ATHR remains an essential part of the operational framework—discreetly managing governance so that innovation never slows.
