Jumia Group is led by top talented leaders offering a great mix of local and international talents and is backed by global investors, namely MTN, Millicom, Rocket Internet, Axa, Orange, Goldman Sachs & CdC. In 2012, Jumia Group embarked on its journey in Africa with a strong belief that internet can improve people’s lives on the continent and a simple mission; Expand your Horizon. Since then, we have been providing different services; namely Jumia, Jumia Market (previously Kaymu), Jumia Travel (previously Jovago), Jumia Food (previously hellofood), Jumia House (previously Lamudi), Jumia Jobs (previously Everjobs), Jumia Car (previously Carmudi), Jumia Deals (previously Vendito) and Jumia Services (previously AIG Express). Africa is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, offering excellent opportunities in a vibrant and booming environment, thus enabling innovative businesses to flourish and this is where Jumia steps in. Observing the challenges that people face every day (poor infrastructures, limited choice, limited information, expensive products and services), we at Jumia saw a huge opportunity to leverage the internet and use it to connect people and provide them with a solution to their daily needs.
