Prosus N.V. is a global consumer internet group and one of the largest technology investors in the world. Headquartered in Amsterdam, the company holds and manages a portfolio of internet assets spanning classifieds, food delivery, payments, fintech, education technology and social platforms. Through both operational ownership and strategic minority stakes, Prosus seeks to accelerate internet adoption in markets with high growth potential, particularly across Asia, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The company’s operations are organized into several key segments. Its classifieds division connects buyers and sellers across property, automotive, jobs and general merchandise marketplaces, serving millions of users in countries such as India, Brazil, Russia and Turkey. In food delivery, Prosus operates leading platforms in Europe, India and Latin America, facilitating swift online ordering and logistics. The payments and fintech businesses focus on digital wallets, lending, insurance and online credit, while the edtech arm invests in digital learning platforms that offer tutoring, certifications and vocational training globally.
Prosus traces its origins to Naspers, a South African media conglomerate that began investing in technology in the mid-1990s. In September 2019, Naspers completed the spin-off of Prosus, listing it on Euronext Amsterdam to unlock value and create a pure-play internet investment vehicle. Since then, Prosus has expanded its footprint through organic growth, partnerships and strategic acquisitions, while maintaining a significant holding in leading Chinese internet giant Tencent, one of its earliest and most successful investments.
The company is led by Chief Executive Officer Bob van Dijk, supported by a leadership team with extensive experience in technology, finance and emerging markets. Prosus is governed by a diverse supervisory board that provides oversight on corporate strategy, risk management and ethical standards. With a commitment to sustainable growth and responsible investment, Prosus continues to leverage its global network and local expertise to drive digital innovation and inclusion around the world.
