  • After the news was announced, Alibaba's shares fell more than 2 percent, reports said.

    The exit of the charismatic founder will make it difficult for the group to establish global roots.

    Though largely successful in China and South Asia, Alibaba's global presence is limited. Notably, Alibaba group has often been compared with Amazon.

    The company's current CEO is Daniel Zhang.
