The e-commerce platform wants to use technology as a force for good to strengthen Southeast Asia’s communities and digital economy.
Even as the world emerged from the pandemic in 2022, there were new challenges to contend with, key of which is the rising cost of living.
From initially serving a primarily local customer base, Dinova now exports its wares across four countries in Southeast Asia, including Singapore and Malaysia, and has 16 employees, most of whom are single mothers. Additionally, to empower local sellers in Indonesia, the #ShopeePilihLokal initiative boasts integrated features aimed at promoting made-in-Indonesia products.
“More than ever, people around our region are concerned about the costs of living. We have sought to reassure them by continuing what we do best, which is creating memorable shopping campaigns, and working with our sellers and brand partners to offer better value and variety,” said Mr Pang. “We are heartened to be able to help users maximise their budgets in a challenging year.
For Shopee, improving lives with technology also means using its platform and resources in support of local communities in need. Last year, 600,000 people participated in corporate social responsibility efforts organised by Shopee and its partners.
