The GFG brands offers a wide assortment of 3,000+ leading international and local brands, as well as a selection of its own private labels. GFG invests consistently in delivering the best customer experience, including best-in-class merchant apps and last mile delivery networks.

The six GFG businesses were founded by German Rocket Internet and Swedish Investment AB Kinnevik in 2011/2012, replicating successful Zalando business model in developing countries through a mix of common strategy but tailored approach to each local market. Verlinvest initially invested in Zalora and Jabong in May 2013, before rolling up its investments into GFG.
