Where It All Started
The Alibaba Group is responsible for the creation of VidMate, which was developed by its company called UCWeb. The love of movies by the Indian population made it so popular in their country, so this led to speculations that it was indeed a product of India.
However, it was UCWeb that made all this possible. The company was founded in 2004 in China as a mobile browser maker. Over the years, the company grew and expanded via the diversified areas including the field of mobile gaming, mobile reading, and mobile search.
In 2014, a merger between the Alibaba Group and UCWeb was established, making it the biggest Chinese Internet deal to date. Many other apps were also developed by UCWeb, including apps such as 9apps, 9games, TubeMate, VideoMate, UC browser, UC mini, and UC share, among others.
