About Min-Liang Tan

Min-Liang Tan gave up a law career in Singapore to start gaming devices company Razer in 2005.

Its early backers include IDG-Accel, Temasek Holdings, Intel and Li Ka-shing's Horizon Ventures. The company has acquired a huge global following and sold millions of gaming laptops, mice, fitness bands and tablets.

Tan listed the firm in Hong Kong in November 2017, raising $529 million.

Tan expanded Razer in Asia with the acquisition of Malaysian virtual currency firm MOL Global, and tie-ups with SingTel, Lazada and China's JD.com.

In May 2022, Tan and Lim Kaling, who is a founding investor and director at Razer, took the company private in a deal that valued it at $3.2 billion.
