Jumia makes MIT’s Top 50 Smartest Companies list 2017

Jumia has been announced as one of the 50 Smartest Companies of the year 2017.

This announcement was made by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for the year 2017 in a list that saw Jumia take the number 44th position ahead of Sales force, Baidu, Ant Financial and Snap (owners of Snap chat).

Jumia formerly called (Africa Internet Group) was founded in 2012 with its headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria.

The Group which became the continent’s first “unicorn” startup was valued at over one billion dollars during a $327 million funding round that included Goldman Sachs among its investors.

Jumia has now grown to become a global market place, offering all its shopping services online in categories of travel, food, delivery, real estate and cars while trying to revolutionise the shopping experience of its numerous customers.

Jumia has proven to be a truly valuable company as it has continued to make the list of the MIT Technology review for the past two years, being ranked alongside Global heavyweights like Nvidia, Amazon, Tencent, Intel, Apple, Facebook, Tesla and Microsoft.

The MIT Technology Review is decided by editors who pick Superstar companies dominating the economy by exploiting a growing gap in digital competencies.

The MIT tech review is not merely a list of today’s biggest or most profitable players. It highlights technologically innovative companies whose business models allow them to exploit these advances.

Sanchan, Maduka emerge Mr and Miss Jumia

Sanchan Elegushi and Nnamdi Maduka have emerged winners of the Mr and Miss Jumia Contest.

They were unveiled as the winners of the Instagram contest at Jumia’s corporate office in Ikeja last Friday where they were both presented an award plaque and a cash price of hundred thousand naira each.

This is after both participants emerged legitimate winners in a competition which was almost marred with buying of likes.

“There were lots of people with fake likes. Several people actually bought likes, but we were chosen on the grounds of meeting the criteria. The criteria for winning was based on engaging comments, likes, usage of the hashtag and the best pictures,” Nnamdi stated.

When asked why they got into the contest, Nnamdi Maduka said his motive was grabbing the opportunity to be part of a reputable brand like Jumia, the number online retailer in Nigeria.

An elated Sanchan who was still in awe at her new found luck struggled to string words together.

Nnamdi who played the role of spokesperson attested that they were both happy to be Mr and Miss Jumia 2017 and are looking forward to promoting the brand.

“It is a good opportunity and a great incentive,” he remarked.

Sanchan Elegushi and Nnamdi Maduka won:

a 100k shopping voucher each
1 month paid internship
1 fashion campaign photoshoot
Jumia website & social media campaign exposure
Endowment for winner’s school department
