Sea marks 9 years public by unveiling Sea Cloud, an AI-first enterprise platform built on decade of internal infrastructure expertise.

On its IPO anniversary, Sea Limited announced Sea Cloud, a new AI-first enterprise cloud platform that will commercialize the internal infrastructure backbone that has powered Garena, Shopee, and Monee to scale. CEO Forrest Li positioned the move as the next wave in Sea's cycle of building, listing, and starting again—explicitly signaling Monee (financial services) as a near-term candidate for public markets. The announcement marks a strategic pivot to monetize infrastructure capabilities developed over 10+ years and recently rebuilt by ~500 engineers to support AI applications across the group.
