Grab Holdings Inc. is a leading technology company headquartered in Singapore, specializing in ride-hailing, food delivery, parcel delivery and digital payments across Southeast Asia. Founded in 2012 by Anthony Tan and Tan Hooi Ling, the company initially launched as MyTeksi in Malaysia, offering a mobile app for taxi bookings. Over the years, Grab expanded its services to include private car bookings, motorbike taxis and shuttle services, aiming to provide a safe and reliable urban transportation network.
Building on its transportation platform, Grab branched into on-demand food delivery under the GrabFood brand and further extended its reach with parcel delivery through GrabExpress. These logistics offerings leverage the company’s extensive driver and courier network, enabling users to access services seamlessly through a single mobile application. Beyond convenience, Grab places emphasis on safety, implementing in-app features such as driver and passenger verification, real-time ride tracking and 24/7 support.
In addition to mobility and delivery, Grab has developed a robust digital payments ecosystem known as GrabPay. This electronic wallet facilitates peer-to-peer transfers, bill payments and in-app purchases, and it has become a cornerstone of the company’s strategy to drive financial inclusion in the region. Grab Financial Group, a subsidiary of Grab, offers micro-lending, insurance, rewards and other financial services tailored to consumers and small businesses, leveraging data insights to underwrite risk and customize product offerings.
Grab’s operations span more than 400 cities in eight Southeast Asian countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Myanmar and Cambodia. Under the leadership of co-founder Anthony Tan, who serves as Group Chief Executive Officer, Grab continues to pursue a vision of transforming Southeast Asia through technology-driven solutions. The company remains focused on innovation in mobility, delivery and fintech, positioning itself as a one-stop super app for everyday services in the region.
