- Prosus N.V. (Ticker: PROSF) is a Netherlands-based global consumer internet group and one of the largest technology investors worldwide that operates and invests in high-growth sectors including classifieds, payments and fintech, food delivery, edtech, ecommerce, and travel. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Amsterdam, the company serves customers across approximately 80 countries from the Americas to Asia, Europe, and South Africa, with products used by more than 1.5 billion people; it functions as a majority-owned subsidiary of Naspers. Core products and services encompass classifieds platforms such as OLX and Property24; payments and fintech solutions via majority-owned PayU, which supports over 150 payment methods including credit cards, wallets, QR codes, and buy-now-pay-later options primarily in India and Southeast Asia through Red Dot Payment; food delivery leaders like fully owned iFood in Latin America, stakes in Swiggy, Delivery Hero, and Meituan; edtech offerings including wholly owned Stack Overflow and GoodHabitz alongside minority investments in Brainly, Udemy, and BYJU'S; ecommerce platforms such as eMAG in Central and Eastern Europe and Meesho; travel services through recently acquired Despegar; and ventures in early-stage technology companies, complemented by a significant 23% stake in Tencent.
In recent developments, Prosus completed the acquisition of Latin America's leading online travel agency Despegar for US$1.7 billion in May 2025, integrating its offerings into platforms like iFood's membership program; it also finalized the purchase of Just Eat Takeaway.com for approximately EUR 4.1 billion, establishing an AI-powered European food delivery champion while agreeing to reduce its Delivery Hero stake to meet EU regulatory conditions in August 2025. The company achieved ecommerce profitability in FY24 with a 12-fold improvement in adjusted EBIT, alongside consolidated profits of US$110 million from key segments including food delivery, payments, classifieds, and edtech, versus prior-year losses; it further simplified its group structure, repurchased shares accretively, and advanced AI integration across operations.
