Tao Value, in its Q1 2021 investor letter, mentioned Pinduoduo Inc. (NASDAQ: PDD). Here is what Tao Value has to say about Pinduoduo Inc. in its letter:

“Pinduoduo reported a strong quarter, reporting MAU of 720 million, now surpassing Taobao. However, it was overshadowed by a bigger news on Colin Huang resigning from Board and completely disassociating himself from PDD’s management & operation. Huang explained in his letter to shareholders that he would start fundamental research initiatives in food science. Although not entirely shocked (as he already stepped down from CEO July 2020), I am surprised by the fast pace of such transition. I remain confident in the organization and the culture Huang built but will monitor it closely.”
