By leveraging its strong brand awareness, extensive product range and efficient logistics infrastructure, Lazada has established itself as a trusted and beloved online shopping destination in Southeast Asia.

In 2020, Lazada faced the unprecedented challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the company quickly adapted to the rapidly changing landscape by implementing safety measures, expanding its delivery capabilities, and partnering with local businesses to ensure the continued availability of essential products.

Today, Lazada continues to evolve and innovate, embracing new technologies such as artificial truemoney data intelligence and data analytics to streamline operations and further personalize the customer experience. The company remains committed to empowering businesses of all sizes by providing a platform to connect with millions of customers in the region.


Lazada, a leading e-commerce platform, was founded in 2012 by Rocket Internet. However, in 2016, Alibaba Group acquired a 51% stake in Lazada, which increased to 83% in 2017. Alibaba owns a significant majority stake in the company, while Lazada operates as a subsidiary under Alibaba's umbrella.

Jack Ma, co-founder and former executive chairman of Alibaba, played a crucial role in the acquisition of Lazada. Under Alibaba’s leadership, Lazada has achieved remarkable growth in the Southeast Asian market. The company operates in six countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
