Career and operating record

Liu Jingkang’s case begins where many young-company stories stop: with delivery. Arashi Vision completed its STAR Market listing in June 2025 and entered the public-company reporting regime under Liu’s chairmanship.

Liu Jingkang is a founder, technical leader and chair and serves as founder and chairman at Arashi Vision, trading as Insta360. In consumer products and retail, the work addresses making professional-quality panoramic and compact imaging tools reliable and accessible across consumer, creator and enterprise uses.

Audited 2025 revenue reached RMB9.741 billion, up 74.76 per cent, while net profit attributable to owners reached RMB928.9 million. Research and development spending rose 96.95 per cent as the company expanded its imaging portfolio and production capability.

The annual report identifies Liu as founder, chairman, legal representative and core technical leader, linking governance and product investment directly to him.

The company established a Chinese consumer-electronics brand with substantial global share in panoramic and thumb cameras. The limitations are equally clear: Material patent and import disputes require context, and market-share figures still depend partly on company and industry estimates.

Liu’s audited operating growth and technical responsibility outweighed founders whose 2025 significance came chiefly from a listing valuation.
