Once dubbed Asia's GAP, Uniqlo has skyrocketed it's parent company (Fast Retailing) into the ranks of the world's top three clothing giants.
With over 3,500 stores worldwide, this Japanese powerhouse has officially crossed a major milestone: for the first time, its international sales outpace domestic revenue, cementing its status as a truly global brand. Today, Uniqlo’s earnings are split evenly across Japan, Greater China, and the rest of the world.
Uniqlo now makes up a staggering 85% of Fast Retailing’s total sales, with the remaining 15% shared among its 'middle fashion' brand GU and other ventures.
This is the incredible journey of Tadashi Yanai, the visionary who transformed a humble Japanese suit shop into a global fashion powerhouse. Through relentless innovation, Uniqlo has transcended cultural boundaries to clothe the entire Asian continent—and beyond.
Episode 1: Discover how Tadashi Yanai transformed Ogori Shoji, an old men's tailor shop, into the very first Uniqlo store—The Unique Clothing Warehouse.
Episode 2: Follow Yanai as he partners with key allies to evolve Uniqlo into the modern SPA model it is today.
Episode 3: After Uniqlo's IPO, they attracted top talent, turning a humble Tokyo warehouse into Japan’s latest fashion icon.
Episode 4: Buoyed by domestic success, Uniqlo ventures abroad—only to face unexpected challenges. As troubles mount at home, a new leader steps in to save the day.
Episode 5: With Tadashi Yanai back at the helm, he assembles a team of visionaries who answer one critical question: "What drives us to sell?" The result? A global expansion and the birth of a new brand, GU.

Jollibee is the McDonald's of the Philippines.
Yet, it commands a vast portfolio of iconic brands across the region, from the Michelin-starred dim sum of Tim Ho Wan to The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf—Starbucks' formidable rival—and Highlands Coffee, Vietnam's largest coffee chain.
Jollibee's true gem, however, is its dominance in the Philippines' F&B industry, with over 2,000 outlets spanning four major franchises: Jollibee, celebrated for its crispy fried chicken, juicy burgers, and unique spaghetti; Chowking, offering savory Chinese fare; Mang Inasal, specializing in local BBQ chicken; and Greenwich, known for its pizzas.
But Jollibee's ambitions stretch far beyond the Philippine shores. The brand is pivoting from defending its local turf against giants like McDonald's to challenging them on the global stage.
Episode 1: From a Magnolia Ice-Cream parlor to an iconic all-American diner, explore Jollibee's transformation and the debut of the Yum Burger.
Episode 2: Discover how Jollibee evolved from a simple eatery into a formidable fast-food empire, launching its signature Chickenjoy and Spaghetti Special, and embarking on a learning expedition to America's McDonald's.
Episode 3: Witness the showdown between Jollibee and McDonald's, where the former relegates the global giant to a close second in the Philippines.
Episode 4: With McDonald's outpaced, Jollibee sets its sights on broader conquests within the Philippines, starting with the acquisition of Greenwich.
Episode 5: Track Jollibee's aggressive expansion as it acquires Chowking and Mang Inasal, then storms Vietnam's market.

GOTO, an Indonesian tech titan, drives more than 2% of the nation's GDP.
Born from the union of Gojek, Indonesia's answer to Uber, and Tokopedia, its version of Amazon, GOTO reigns as a colossal tech empire.
Its business model? Imagine Amazon scrapping its warehouses, leaning instead on a vast network of in-house drivers for deliveries.
With impressive figures, GOTO boasts 64 million annual users, 3 million drivers, and 18 million merchants, peaking at a valuation of $33 billion USD. It churns out $2 billion USD in gross revenue, with a portfolio diversified into on-demand services (57%), e-commerce (36%), and fintech (7%).
Episode 1 unveils Tokopedia's modest start, featuring founder William Tanuwijaya's relentless pursuit of belief.
Episode 2 tracks William's rise as Indonesia's tech godfather, celebrating Tokopedia's groundbreaking $100 million funding.
Episode 3 revisits Gojek's journey, from its lackluster inception under Nadiem Makarim to its game-changing revival.
Episode 4 showcases the strategic dance of Gojek and Tokopedia, warding off tech behemoths vying for control over Indonesia.
Episode 5 captures the monumental merger into GOTO, a powerhouse valued at its zenith at over $33 billion USD.
