No sale here, folks!

Lazada Group has firmly denied rumors of a potential exit from Thailand. Reports suggesting negotiations Lazada’s stake in its Thai operations to local conglomerates Central Group and Charoen Pokphand have been dismissed a “untrue” by a company spokesperson.

This swift response underscores Lazada’s determination to maintain its foothold in the competitive Southeast Asian e-commerce landscape.

Alibaba’s billion-dollar bet

Despite swirling rumors, Alibaba has demonstrated unwavering support for Lazada.

The tech giant recently poured an additional $230 million into the platform, bringing its total investment to a staggering $7.4 billion since acquisition. This substantial financial backing signals Alibaba’s long-term commitment to Lazada’s growth and success in the region.

Lazada has recently trimmed its workforce by 30% and quietly launched ‘Choice’, its answer to ultra-fast fashion giants like Temu and Shein.

These strategic moves, coupled Alibaba’s continued investment, suggest Lazada is actively adapting to the ever-evolving e-commerce battlefield in Southeast Asia.
