About Sea Limited
Sea Limited is a Singapore-founded consumer internet and technology group whose businesses span digital entertainment, e-commerce and digital financial services. Its principal operating businesses are Garena, Shopee and Monee, formerly known as SeaMoney. The group serves markets across Southeast Asia and Taiwan, with additional operations in Latin America.
The company began in May 2009 under the name Garena Interactive Holding Limited. Its early business centred on Garena+, an online gaming and social communication platform that connected players in Southeast Asia and Taiwan. Garena subsequently expanded into regional game publishing, building relationships with international developers and publishers. This gaming heritage remains an important part of the group's business, alongside its later expansion into commerce and finance.
Three complementary businesses
Garena operates the group's digital entertainment business, combining game development, publishing, localization and ongoing live operations. Its portfolio includes the internally developed mobile battle royale game Free Fire and its enhanced edition, Free Fire MAX. Garena also operates esports leagues and tournaments and has published international mobile and PC titles in regional markets.
Shopee, launched in 2015, is a mobile-centric e-commerce marketplace developed for Southeast Asian consumers and merchants. Its business encompasses buyer and seller marketplace infrastructure, digital advertising and fulfillment, supported by the group's SPX Express logistics operations. Shopee has also expanded into Latin America, particularly Brazil.
Monee operates the group's digital financial services business, established in 2014. Its activities include payments, wallets, consumer credit and digital banking, with businesses and products including ShopeePay, SPayLater, SeaBank and MariBank.
Development of the group
The company adopted the Sea Limited name in 2017 to reflect its diversification beyond gaming. It completed its New York Stock Exchange initial public offering in October that year and trades under the ticker SE. Today, Sea operates as a parent technology group with distinct operating businesses, while retaining digital entertainment as one of its three core pillars.
