E-COMMERCE and Internet behemoth Alibaba Group Holding Ltd aims to register 2 billion individual users around the world by 2036.

DRIVEN by rapid gains in smartphone use and people’s willingness to try new things in Myanmar, Alibaba Group plans to grow its business by at least five times in the country in the coming six to eight months, according to Frans Maas, managing director of Shop.com.mm, which is now under the fold of the Chinese e-commerce giant.
