Online retailer Trendyol recently marked a major milestone by making a profit operationally for the first time, driven by its Türkiye business.

But this is just the latest in a long line of achievements.

Thirteen years ago, the Trendyol team delivered its first order in the company van.

Since then, Trendyol has set fundraising records and spawned an entire digital ecosystem, including a thriving marketplace, an own-brand fashion label, a logistics network, a second-hand platform, and a food-and-grocery delivery service for consumers.

The Istanbul-headquartered company continues to expand internationally too, with the latest market entry into Azerbaijan this May, following a launch in Germany last year.
