00:10From his humble beginnings to building one of the largest e-commerce platforms in the world,

00:16Jack Ma's journey is truly inspirational. So, sit back and join us as we explore the

00:23life and achievements of Jack Ma in detail. Let's get started.

00:30Jack Ma was born on September 10, 1964, in Hangzhou, China. His early life was filled

00:41with challenges. Ma struggled academically, failing his college entrance exams twice.

00:48Despite these setbacks, he was determined to learn English and improve his prospects.

00:53Jack Ma would ride his bike to a nearby hotel every morning to converse with foreign tourists.

01:00Practicing his English and learning about Western culture, this persistence paid off

01:05when he eventually passed the exams on his third attempt,

01:09securing his spot at Hangzhou Normal University.

01:13Jack Ma's first encounter with the internet in 1995 was a pivotal moment. While on a trip to the United

01:32States, he was introduced to the World Wide Web. Fascinated, he searched for beer and found results for

01:40American and German beers, but none for Chinese beers. This sparked an idea.

01:47Upon returning to China, Jack Ma founded China Pages, a business that created websites for companies.

01:55Despite facing many challenges, including a lack of internet infrastructure in China,

02:01this venture marked Ma's first step into the digital world.

02:14In 1999, Jack Ma and a group of friends launched Alibaba from his apartment.

02:26The goal was to create a platform that would enable small Chinese businesses to reach global markets.

03:24Ma focused on understanding the local market and offering tailored solutions.

03:29He emphasized the importance of trust and customer satisfaction,
