The Heart Behind Mikali
Yesterday, I had the incredible honor of seeing my husband, Kam Ching, representing me, take the stage at the BigSeller 2026 Malaysia Summit. Standing alongside industry giants like TikTok, Shopee, and Meta, he shared the story of the brand I founded, Mikali - with over thousand attendees.
Why "Mikali"? Many people ask where the name comes from. It is our family’s heartbeat:
Mi: Our daughters, Minah & Jiae
Ka: Kam Ching
Li: Me (Kai Ling)
The Lesson of the "Closed Doors". Our journey hasn't been easy. We previously ran a café that we ultimately had to close. It was a difficult chapter, but it taught us that while passion gets you started, it is the combination of passion, pain, and resilience that keeps you going.
We took those lessons and poured them into Mikali. We aren’t just selling products; we are building a foundation of trust for parents.
At Mikali, we handle the entire resale process(assured parents peace of mind), from professional sanitization to rigorous quality control. We also gave the summit a "sneak peek" at what’s next: AI-assisted validation.
We are developing AI to help detect damages in baby strollers to streamline our resale process. By combining tech efficiency with "human-in-the-loop" expertise, we ensure that every parent receives a product they can trust for their child.
Mikali is expanding, and we are looking for those who believe in our mission to help parents through meaningful, sustainable solutions.
We are actively looking for:
1) Business Partners
2) Marketing Interns, fresh grad (Come learn and grow with us!)
