Lazada: Ecommerce had been around for decades

It took so many years before the idea of e commerce started getting attention in the developing countries. The Philippines had for years few online stores that sold only specialized items, usually items the online store produced itself. Online shopping then meant browsing the internet for online stores that carried the items that an individual wanted to purchase. It meant placing several orders to several stores. Since each store charged shipping and handling fee, ordering different items from different stores meant that the buyer had to pay a lot of fees on top of the typically expensive product costs.

 

Then came Lazada Philippines, an online shopping website that has been growing very fast in the country. This online shopping mall is one of the most successful online shopping mall in the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. These online shopping malls are owned by Rocket Internet, a very successful online venture builder that has left its mark in the market since it started in 1999.
