Former Owner’s Testimonials at iProperty & iMedia Group: Life-changing event,
lasting relationships & tremendous value creation
Joshua Wong
Founder of iProperty Malaysia
"We sold our company to Catcha and Patrick in
2007 and joined in the founding of iProperty and
the IPO. It was a 10 year journey that was
incredible. Our company went from 1 country to 5
countries and we were a core part of the
management team and important shareholders. It
was a life changing event for us.”

Shahzeeq Shahren
CEO & Co-Founder of Nara Media
“iMedia acquired a majority stake in Nara Media in
2020. We’ve seen tremendous growth post-
investment, financially and from a resource
perspective. We now have access to iMedia’s
resources, especially its sales team, ad
operations & finance. While acquisitions may just
sound like a monetary agenda, in this case it is
beyond that. My ambition prior to this acquisition
was to see the company transcend towards
greater things in the digital space, and I know we
are definitely on the right track.”
Tan Guan Sheng
CEO & Co-Founder of ITTIFY
“ITTIFY has grown and benefitted under the
consolidation of iMedia. We gained access to huge
clientele whom would not be available otherwise
as an independent company. This consolidation
has helped ITTIFY gain tremendous scale
benefits. As part of the media empire, it was able
to bundle its services with the other portfolio
companies to uniquely integrated offerings.
ITTIFY also gained access to high calibre talents
and technology within the iMedia, allowing the
younger colleagues to learn from and grow.”

Founder of xyzzy
"Selling our event business to Catcha Group and
joining the iProperty family was the greatest thing
that ever happened. We created so much value
together over 2.5 years after the deal, and it was
great fun! We integrated our team into a multi-
lingual, multicultural regional environment. Patrick
and Luke, and the rest of the iProperty
management were great mentors, instilling best
practices in all the companies they run.”
