Founded in 2015, HappyFresh offers same-day grocery delivery services to online customers in Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia, where it works with supermarkets and other retailers.

It is preceded by a $150 million investment in Grab in August 2018 and $50 million in Indonesian e-commerce platform operator Bukalapak in January this year.
Mirae Asset-Naver Asia Growth Fund is evenly funded by Mirae Asset Group and Naver. It is managed by Mirae Asset Capital, a credit finance arm of Mirae Asset Group.
