Lazada Group chief executive Pierre Poignant said the company operates the top e-commerce platform in South-East Asia with more than 50 million active buyers annually, contrary to prior reports that painted the site as a laggard.

“We are growing at triple digits for the past three quarters, which has really sort of defined our position as number one,” Poignant said in an interview. “We’re very happy about the progress of where we are.”
