Deep dives

The Rise of Alibaba

Alibaba began its journey in 1999 in a modest Hangzhou apartment, founded by Jack Ma and a team of 18 people. The rapid growth of the Chinese middle class and the rise of online commerce provided a fertile ground for Alibaba's expansion. By initially connecting local suppliers with global buyers through its business-to-business platform, and later launching the consumer-focused Taobao, Alibaba revolutionized e-commerce in China. The innovative features of its platforms, like live chats and image searches, helped solidify its position in the market, resulting in substantial investor backing and eventual global reach.
