What Prosus does
Prosus allocates capital to, acquires and operates digital consumer platforms. It creates value by combining portfolio-company operating revenue with investment returns, deploying central technology, artificial-intelligence, data, capital-allocation and operational expertise across businesses. Controlled platforms monetise their own consumer, merchant and marketplace ecosystems through transactions, commissions, advertising, delivery-related services, payments and other digital services.
Category differentiation
Prosus is a publicly listed technology investment and operating group, not a standalone food-delivery, classifieds or payments product. It is controlled by Naspers Limited and should not be conflated with individual portfolio companies such as OLX, iFood, Despegar or Just Eat Takeaway.com.
