Line Man Wongnai, Thailand's food delivery giant, backed by giants like GIC and Z Holdings, contemplates a 2025 IPO possibly in Thailand and the US. The company's worth surpasses $1B.
Line Man Wongnai, merging tech and local insight in Thailand, eyes an IPO in 2025. CEO Yod Chinsupakul hints at a possible dual listing. Backed by global investors like Singapore's GIC and Japan's Z Holdings, the firm's raised over $372M.
Starting as a restaurant review site, Wongnai grew by merging with Line Man and acquiring tech startups like Rabbit Line Pay. Now, with a user base fueled by Thailand’s top messaging app Line, they push boundaries in food delivery and tech.
Chinsupakul stresses the focus on POS and payments growth, vital for battling giants like GrabFood. Their strategy includes continuous tech enhancements, particularly in data and AI, ensuring they remain competitive in a bustling market.
Despite fierce competition, the online delivery market in Thailand shows vast growth potential. With current penetration rates low, Chinsupakul is optimistic about scaling operations and leveraging their comprehensive service lineup for both consumers and merchants.
