Updated: Rocket Internet, Berlin’s incredible cloning machine, is certainly making good on its international expansion plans. And hey, why not borrow extensively from Amazon and its old site design, right?
That, as TechBerlin neatly spotted today, is exactly what the Samwer brothers’ operation has just done. The site’s called Lazada and it’s now open for business in Indonesia, selling… well, pretty much what Amazon sells.
A job ad that went up on Monday for a senior HR manager confirms it’s a Rocket enterprise, while describing the parent company in a way that almost rings true:
Our team comprises of highly entrepreneurial individuals from the best business schools and companies around the world. This is an incredibly rare opportunity to work for a highly reputed international company, which offers you a challenging, but also fun working atmosphere.
The first bit sounds right, but what comes afterwards depends on your definition of “highly reputed” and “fun.” I don’t know, is being told to sign your business plans in blood fun? Maybe for some.
TechBerlin pegs ex-McKinsey man Maximilian Bittner as Lazada’s CEO, which squares up with a recent edit to his LinkedIn profile. And, since you ask, Amazon is not currently itself operational in Indonesia.
