SINGAPORE - Logistics firm Ninja Van has seen its business grow this year as the coronavirus pandemic brought on a surge in e-commerce, and consumers turned to online shopping amid lockdowns and movement restrictions globally.
Co-founder and chief executive Lai Chang Wen told The Straits Times the pandemic has led to significant increases in parcel volumes across its network in South-east Asia, with more brick-and-mortar stores pivoting towards e-retail and existing e-commerce sellers selling more when many people were confined to their homes during lockdown.
