On this podcast we talk to Gunjan Bhartia, Former VP of Strategy & Business at Coupang to explore Coupang's evolving strategy—from international expansion to business model evolution—and the hidden risks that may be overlooked by the market. This was orginally recorded as an AlphaSense webinar in January, and we thank AlphaSense for letting us release it on our podcast too.
