Kaidee is an online shopping and classifieds platform in Thailand.[1][2] It was cited as Thailand's largest online shopping and classifieds platform.[3][4] Kaidee uses machine learning and big data algorithms to recommend products for its customers.[5]
History
[edit]Kaidee was originally branded as dealfish.co.th and was founded in September 2011 by Sanook.com, a Thai-language web portal and news website owned by Naspers.[6][7] It was established as a standalone C2C website supporting classified listings but not transactions.[6]
In March 2014, Dealfish was rebranded to OLX.co.th,[8] to turn OLX into a single brand for its classified platform in alignment with the rest of its classified businesses in eleven countries.[9][6][10][11]
In November 2014, OLX.co.th announced a merger to form a new joint venture, officially changing its name and brand to Kaidee.com,[12] as a result of an agreement between Schibsted, Naspers, Telenor and Singapore Press Holdings to establish joint ventures for the development of online classifieds platforms in Thailand, Brazil, Indonesia and Bangladesh.[13][14]
In 2018, Kaidee launched MocyKaidee to connect motorcycle buyers and sellers, FarmKaidee to connect farmers with wholesalers and direct customers,[15] and BaanKaidee for users to buy, sell and rent properties.[16]
In the same year, Allianz teamed up with Kaidee as an insurance provider for motor, home and contents, travel and personal accidents.[17][18]
In April 2020, Dubai-based online classified solutions provider, Emerging Markets Property Group (EMPG) acquired Kaidee as part of its expansion in the ASEAN region.[19][3][20]
In March 2023, Carro, a Singapore-based used car marketplace, added EMPG, the parent company of Kaidee, to its cap table.[21]
