Telenor Group slår sammen porteføljen innen digitale markedsplasser med Carousell

Del

(Singapore, 21. november 2019) Telenor Group kunngjorde i dag sammenslåingen av sin digitale rubrikkvirksomhet 701Search med Carousell, en av Asias største og raskest voksende digitale markedsplasser. Transaksjonen består av 701Search, dets datterselskaper og kontanter.

Fusjonen skaper en ledende regional aktør innenfor digitale markedsplasser. Med 32 prosent eierskap blir Telenor Group største minoritetseier i Carousell. 701Search vil med denne transaksjonen ikke lenger være et datterselskap av Telenor Group og innlemmes i Carousell med umiddelbar virkning.

701Search eier ledende digitale markedsplasser i Sørøst-Asia: Mudah i Malaysia, Chotot i Vietnam og OneKyat i Myanmar. Johan Rostoft, leder for Online Classifieds i Telenor Group, sier: «Vi har bygget en lønnsom og raskt voksende digital markedsplass med millioner av brukere hver eneste dag. Transaksjonen er en attraktiv mulighet til å videreutvikle vår virksomhet innen digitale markedsplasser i Asia, i tillegg til å forenkle Telenors portefølje. Vi mener at Carousell er den beste partneren for disse selskapene i Sørøst-Asia.»

«Vi er begeistret over å inngå dette partnerskapet med Telenor Group, og med det befeste vår ledende posisjon i åtte markeder i Sørøst-Asia, Hong Kong og Taiwan», sier medgrunnlegger og administrerende direktør i Carousell, Quek Siu Rui. Han legger til at «Telenor Group har omfattende lokal erfaring i sine markeder. Denne kompetansen, sammen med Carousells utrettelige fokus på teknologi for å forenkle kjøp og salg, gjør oss trygge på at vi sammen vil skape en enda sterkere digital markedsplass i Malaysia, Myanmar og Vietnam. I de neste månedene ser vi frem til å jobbe med våre nye kollegaer for å lære om de lokale markedene, skape muligheter og gjensidig verdi for alle brukerne, samt inspirere flere til å kjøpe og selge.»

Carousell er blant de fremste oppstartsselskapene i Sørøst-Asia, med ledende posisjoner i Singapore og Hong Kong. De fleste av Carousells ansatte sitter i Singapore og etter sammenslåingen vil 701Searchs team i Singapore innlemmes i Carousell. Mudah, Chotot og OneKyat vil beholde sine respektive merkenavn og plattformer. De vil fortsette driften i Malaysia, Vietnam og Myanmar. Forretningsenhetene vil rapportere til Carousell Groups administrerende direktør Quek Siu Rui.

Avtalen krever ikke regulatorisk godkjenning og forventes fullført umiddelbart.
