Way of working
OLX Philippines is a team of 100+ local Pinoys building OLX here in the Philippines. We are closely connected regionally to other local OLX teams in India and Indonesia, and collaborate with them and other teams around the world to share ideas and build on each other. As the local OLX Philippines team, we are empowered to build local solutions, while being part of something much bigger. It’s different than any other consumer technology company in the market. We don’t always get it right, but when we do, it’s a powerful combination.
Globally empowered
In 2009, the Filipino-grown classifieds platform attracted the attention of global investor Naspers. In 2014, the decision was made to continue the business under Naspers’ global classifieds label OLX. OLX unites different cultures in different markets, enabling them to learn from each other’s best practices while maintaining autonomy and focus on the local culture.
OLX is currently active in over 40 countries. The growth of the platform is propelled forward by the support of Naspers, a global platform operator with principal operations in internet services, pay television and print media. With services in over 120 countries, Naspers boasts US$6Bn in annual revenues. Naspers’ strength lies in the local approach (valuing local language and culture), entrepreneurial spirit and the quality of employees. This strong financial positions in other operations provides Naspers the backing for a confident and long-term classifieds strategy, which revolves around OLX.
