Society Pass Invests $1.8M In Singapore-Based Gorilla Networks

Society Pass Incorporated (NASDAQ:SOPA) (the "Company"), Southeast Asia's next generation digital ecosystem, today announces a US$1.8 million minority investment in Singapore-based telecoms embedded SIM (eSIM) infrastructure and digital connectivity platform, Gorilla Networks Pte Ltd ("Gorilla").

The investment represents Society Pass's entry into the fast-growing global eSIM market, which Straits Research projects to expand from US$11.2 billion in 2025 to US$25.0 billion by 2033 at a 10.5% CAGR. More importantly, the transaction establishes Gorilla as a strategic extension of Society Pass's travel and OTA strategy, enabling the Company to embed mobile connectivity directly into the travel purchase journey and to participate in the long-term consolidation of a fragmented digital connectivity sector.

Society Pass' majority owned travel platform, NusaTrip Inc (Nasdaq: NUTR), operates at the point where cross-border travelers make instantaneous purchasing decisions. Mobile connectivity is a recurring need for these users, yet remains largely disconnected from the OTA transaction flow. Gorilla's platform is designed to change this dynamic. By providing API-driven, white-label eSIM infrastructure, Gorilla enables travel platforms to bundle connectivity alongside flights, hotels, and ancillary services at the moment of booking. This transforms mobile data from a standalone product into a native component of the travel experience, improving convenience for travelers while creating a new, high-margin revenue layer for digital platforms.
