IMA AI is a Malaysian AI-powered business group operating under IMA MCN Malaysia Sdn Bhd. We build and operate AI-native businesses — from livestream commerce to creative production, digital advertising, and engineering.
We started where the market was moving fastest. We will finish where most industries haven't even started.
Founded in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Started building the foundation for a premium livestream operation in Malaysia.
Built our reputation in one of Malaysia's most trust-sensitive categories. Developed proprietary live commerce operations, host training, and performance systems on TikTok Shop and Shopee LIVE.
Restructured the entire company to be AI-first. Integrated AI into every function — creative production, operations, engineering, and client services. IMA AI is born.
Launching IMA AI ID, KYMC, and NPARN — products built on AI infrastructure, serving Malaysian businesses and individuals at scale.
Chin Qi Yong founded IMA MCN Malaysia Sdn Bhd in 2022 with a clear thesis: live commerce was the fastest-moving channel in Southeast Asia, and most brands were too slow to capture it. He built IMA AI from the ground up — starting with livestream operations in the baby and maternity category, developing the systems, training, and performance frameworks that became the company's foundation.
In 2025, he led the company's full restructure into an AI-native business group. His conviction: AI is not a tool you add to a business. It is the business.
