“Using technology for good is at the heart of everything we do. Aside from providing access to tools and platforms, Alibaba Group also provides KOLs with an end-to-end ecosystem that supports their training and provides them with opportunities to work with brands. The programme will leverage this expertise and extensive resources to provide Malaysians in need with the skillsets needed for successful e-commerce livestreaming.”
