KUALA LUMPUR<\/span> and CYBERJAYA, Malaysia<\/span><\/span>, Dec. 15, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Letitu, the global EdTech company behind the AI-powered academic and career planning platform The Pond<\/i>, has established a new joint venture (JV) in Malaysia<\/span> to spearhead its expansion across Southeast Asia<\/span>. The new entity, TeXphere<\/i>, was incorporated in September and will begin full-scale operations in early 2026.<\/p>\n

Letitu’s flagship solution, The Pond<\/i>, has gained wide international traction for helping students, teachers, and counselors navigate complex academic and career decisions. The AI-driven platform recommends suitable courses, activities, and university pathways based on students’ interests, strengths, and career aspirations. It is already being used across the United States<\/span>, Canada<\/span>, the United Kingdom<\/span>, Thailand<\/span>, Japan<\/span>, and Kazakhstan<\/span>, where the company currently derives 70% of its revenue.<\/p>\n

“Students often struggle to find clear, structured guidance because information is scattered,” said Sean Lee<\/span>, Co-Founder of Letitu and Director of Malaysia JV<\/b>. “The Pond<\/i> brings everything together through AI, enabling students and educators to make confident decisions about academics, university admissions, and even early career planning.”<\/p>\n

Malaysia Chosen as Strategic Hub for Southeast Asia<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Letitu selected Malaysia<\/span> as its regional base due to the country’s rapidly growing EdTech landscape and strong emphasis on digital innovation. The global EdTech community has also recognized Malaysia’s<\/span> rising influence, with Kuala Lumpur<\/span> serving as the Asian host city for the world-renowned BETT exhibition for several consecutive years.<\/p>\n

“Malaysia<\/span> is emerging as one of Asia’s<\/span> most dynamic EdTech markets,” Lee said. “Its forward-looking educational environment makes it the ideal launchpad for our Southeast Asia<\/span> expansion.”<\/p>\n

Joint Venture with Local EdTech Leader Shft<\/b><\/p>\n

To ensure strong local execution, Letitu partnered with Shft<\/b>, a Malaysian EdTech company that works closely with leading institutions such as the University of Malaya. The two companies were introduced during a major EdTech exhibition in Kuala Lumpur<\/span> and quickly identified strong synergy in supporting learning innovation.<\/p>\n

The JV, named TeXphere<\/i>, is structured with Letitu holding 80% and Shft holding 20%. Lee will lead the venture as Managing Director and oversee business development, partnerships, and product rollout across Malaysia<\/span>.<\/p>\n

“Shft’s deep network and on-the-ground expertise will allow us to scale faster and respond effectively to local needs,” Lee added.<\/p>\n

WelKo and Additional Services to Launch Through TeXphere<\/b><\/p>\n

Beyond The Pond<\/i>, Letitu plans to introduce WelKo<\/b>, a new platform designed to help international students navigate Korean university admissions independently, without intermediaries. The service will formally launch in Malaysia<\/span> through the JV and target both local and international school communities.<\/p>\n

TeXphere will also explore further collaborations with schools and develop tech-focused education programs tailored to Malaysia’s<\/span> rapidly advancing digital ecosystem.<\/p>\n

“Starting next year, Southeast Asia<\/span> will become one of Letitu’s key growth pillars,” Lee said. “Through TeXphere, we are committed to contributing to Malaysia’s<\/span> EdTech innovation and supporting students across the region.”<\/p>\n
