About Grab Holdings Inc. :
Grab Holdings Inc., or simply Grab, is a Singaporean multinational corporation headquartered in Queenstown, Singapore, and known for its eponymous "Super-App." The organisation also provides food distribution and digital payment services via a mobile app in addition to transportation. In 2012, Anthony Tan and Tan Hooi Ling co-founded the "My Teksi" app in Malaysia, intending to make taxi rides safer in Malaysia. With a new, revamped logo, GrabTaxi was renamed "Grab," which encompasses all of the company's products: GrabCar (personal cars), GrabBike (motorcycle taxis), GrabHitch (carpooling), and GrabExpress (last-mile delivery). The Grab app uses a location-sharing system to allocate taxis and private hire cars to local commuters. As the company enters a foreign market, it purchases smartphones for drivers in those countries, enabling them to pay for the phone in regular instalments. By taking a share of the booking fees, the company makes profits. Grab contacts taxi drivers directly and signed them up at airports, hawker centres, taxi lines, and depots. Taxi drivers are also taught how to use a smartphone and the company's mobile app. Grab has attempted to enter the economies of smaller cities in addition to major cities. In April 2021, Grab Holdings Inc. announced plans to go public in the United States in collaboration with Altimeter Growth Corp., in what is believed to be the largest-ever U.S. equity offering by a Southeast Asian company. In the coming months, the merged company expects its shares to be listed on NASDAQ under the symbol "GRAB."
Grab Holdings Inc.'s Unique Selling Point or USP is that in comparison to Uber and Indonesia's Go-Jek, it has the largest market share in Southeast Asia, with 2.4 million drivers and 81 million app downloads. Grab Holdings Inc.'s vision statement reads, "At Grab our vision is to Drive Southeast Asia Forward through innovation and grit. We do this by solving real-world problems that over 620 million people face across the region".

Opportunity
1. Going public via merging with a SPAC will bring in over $4 billion in capital: In April 2021, Grab announced its plans to go public in the U.S. by partnering with Altimeter Growth Corp., a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC). This is scheduled to be the largest ever equity offering by a South-East Asian company and the company will be listed under NASDAQ as GRAB. The merger with Altimeter is worth approximately $39.6 billion which is largest blank check merger till date.
Public listing is expected to reinforce Grab’s momentum and surpass pre-pandemic Gross Merchandise Value. Grab is expected to received $ 4.5 billion in cash proceeds following the Initial Public Offering. Given South-East Asia’s currently booming digital economy, a public listing will put Grab on a prominent map, representative of the entire region in the US Market and attract investors. As Grab reports, it has improved profitability, the proceeds from IPO should go a long way in ensuring further growth and expansion.
2. Partnership with AS Watsons will enhance expand reach: In January 2021, Grab revealed it was partnering with AS Watsons, the world’s largest international health and beauty retailer. This is the largest online cum offline partnership in South-East Asia, spanning across 2200 AS Watsons stores. The customers will be able to access their favored Watsons products via the Grab app. Watsons’ e-commerce business doubled during the pandemic and Grab’s extensive network in this region is well positioned to benefit from their popularity. Customers can shop for Watsons product on GrabMart and have them delivered to their homes in under 2 hours. The delivery is also handled by Grab via GrabExpress. Watsons has plans in pipeline to roll out payments via GrabPay, Grab’s online payment service. So, this collaboration is expected to benefit Grab on multiple fronts, making ample use of their superapp services and expanding user base.
