From Rags to Riches

Flash Express, founded by Thai-Chinese entrepreneur Komsan Lee in 2017, has become Thailand’s first unicorn, now valued at $2.1 billion.

Born into poverty, Lee’s journey from grocery shop worker to e-commerce logistics mogul is a testament to perseverance and strategic vision.

Delivering Success

The company’s meteoric rise stems from its focus on local sellers using social media platforms and its deployment of AI for route optimization.

Flash Express undercut competitors by offering delivery services at less than half the prevailing market rates, quickly capturing 15% of Thailand’s home delivery market by 2020.

Beyond Borders

Today, Flash Express handles 700 million parcels annually through 10,000 service branches and 27,000 employees.

The company has expanded beyond logistics into e-commerce services and financial solutions, establishing a presence in Laos, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

In the latter, it has already become one of the top three e-commerce couriers, serving giants like Shopee and Lazada.
