Lazada

Lazada is one of the largest e-commerce stores operating in Southeast Asia, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Downtown Core, Singapore, with subsidiaries located in Vietnam. It was the first online marketplace to focus on several SEA countries at once, predating Shopee by a few years, as well as establish a non-hassle and reliable shopping experience in this area. Deliveries are provided by Lazada's own companies, such as Lazada eLogistics and Lazada LeL Express, or LEX for short.

Lazada has been frequently compared with similar e-commerce stores in SEA, such as Shopee, Tokopedia and Bukalapak. Currently, it's owned and financed by Alibaba Group, which is more known for founding and maintaining AliExpress.

About Lazada

Lazada was founded in 2012 by Maximillian Bittner, with significant backing from a German venture capital company, Rocket Internet SE. Bittner wanted to start Lazada up with an Amazon-like business model, taking advantage of SEA's nearly non-existent online consumer market and Amazon not having any subsidiaries there. This same year, Lazada's website was soft launched, followed by the mobile app a year later.

Originally intended for selling goods from its' own warehouses, Lazada's business model was expanded in 2014, and allowed third-party sellers to list and sell their goods as well. Shortly after the marketplace was launched, it led in swift increase in traffic, with 65% of the total sales attributed to third parties.

This same year, Lazada has started properly operating in Singapore, followed by other SEA countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Phillipines, where it operates to this day. Unlike most of its' competitors, Lazada has bigger coverage, comparable only to Shopee's, with its' twelve-country reach in all of SEA, Taiwan, Poland and major countries in South America.

Due to the state of the third-world market where Lazada operates, Bittner had to face a lot of challenges, such as the consumer's preference for brick and mortar stores at the time, mandatory cash on delivery payment and reliable logistics for both urban and rural areas - a non-issue in countries where e-commerce was prevalent.

Using over $685 million in investments from such companies as JPMorgan Chase, Tesco, Summit Partners, Kinnevik AB and Temasek, as well as multiple TV commercials, Lazada managed to "teach" its' customers the joys of online shopping, the old-fashioned way. Cash on delivery still turned out to be the most prevalent payment method, as Lazada provided door-to-door delivery by vans, along with SMS messages that confirm online orders.

The store has begun to expand even further, with Alibaba Group acquiring the company in 2016, as part of their international expansion plans. The deal was worth one billion dollars, which was used to purchase both the new shares and the existing shares from Lazada's old shareholders.

As SEA countries continued developing, so did Lazada, who introduced LazMall in 2018, in an effort to make its' customers purchase goods from authentic brands, with options for 15-day returns and next-day delivery. By the end of next year, Lazada has partnered with Citibank to introduce the first ever credit card in Singapore, with other SEA areas following suit. Same year, they've announced a partnership with Amorepacific, a Korean beauty company, and launched its' first brick and mortar concept store in Funan, simply called Amore Store x Lazada.

The company has also launched Lazada Global Shipping, also known as LGS, a fulfilment program that focuses on cross-border sales, allowing businesses to sell goods from Europe or the United States in the SEA countries, using Lazada's fulfilment centre in Hong Kong as a midpoint.
