Shanghai Wanli Network Technology Co., Ltd. is the China-based subsidiary of the Japanese parent company, Onedot Inc., which was founded in December 2016. The Shanghai entity was established in March 2017 and operates in coordination with the Tokyo office as a single transnational team. The company's co-founder and CEO is Chitoku Tosu, who has a background in new venture incubation and global strategy from his time at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and BCG Digital Ventures. He founded the company with the mission to “bring smiles to children and families around the world.”
The company's core business revolves around developing and operating digital platforms targeted at families in China. Their flagship product is "Babily" (贝贝粒), one of China's largest digital media platforms for mothers and infants, providing content and tools related to childcare and family life. Another key platform is "Petnote" (宠本本), an O2O service for pet owners in China that offers quick commerce for pet supplies and a health management tool. The company also operates "繫康万家," a medical service platform that connects patients, primarily from China, with advanced medical services in Japan, including remote second opinions and in-person treatment arrangements.
In addition to its consumer-facing platforms, Shanghai Wanli provides comprehensive marketing and digital strategy services for businesses aiming to enter or expand in the Chinese market. Leveraging their experience in building their own platforms, they offer support in market research, digital strategy, social media marketing, cross-border e-commerce, and the development of WeChat Mini Programs. Their business model includes generating revenue through advertising on their media platforms as well as providing paid strategic consulting and marketing support services to corporate clients.
