In first place we find Netflix. It was founded in 1997 by Mitch Lowe, Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph in Los Gatos, California, and is dedicated to developing an online platform that allows its users to watch programmes, series and films on various devices such as smart TVs, computers, mobiles, tablets, etc.
This platform allows users to access and watch more than one billion hours of TV shows and movies per month, including Netflix original series. Members can pause and resume viewing their content without commercial breaks or commitments.
The company Ant Financial is ranked in silver in the ranking. Founded by the Alibaba group, it allows individuals and businesses to make secure online payments.
Its platform, Alipay, is the world's largest online and mobile payment platform and its users are mainly buyers and sellers conducting e-commerce transactions. It is an accepted payment method for many websites in China and currently has a registered user base of 350 million.
Alipay payments are Ant Financial's core business, but the company is growing rapidly in areas ranging from asset management to lending.
In third place is another Chinese powerhouse, Xiaomi. Since its founding in Beyjing in 2010, Xiaomi has managed to position itself as one of the most important electronics and software companies in terms of mobile devices and technology. Although mobile phones are the main production of the business, they also develop applications for them.
Xiaomi is targeting the lower mid-market and has gained a loyal fan base by incorporating user feedback into the design of its latest Android games and skins. They also offer other products such as TV boxes, backpacks, phone screen protectors and headphones.
