Grab app services

Grab started its journey in 2012 as a taxi-hailing application in Malaysia, originally known as MyTeksi. Founded by Anthony Tan and Tan Hooi Ling, it was born out of a desire to make taxi rides safer and more efficient in Southeast Asia. Over the following decade, the brand successfully rebranded to Grab and shifted its headquarters to Singapore, evolving into the region's leading 'super-app' by integrating various daily services into a single platform.

Today, Grab is a publicly traded company listed on the NASDAQ, following a significant SPAC merger. The platform operates extensively across eight Southeast Asian countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Myanmar, and Cambodia. While the digital services are powered by regional technical hubs and data centers, the brand's core identity and operations are rooted in the Southeast Asian market.

As the ultimate owner, Grab Holdings Limited oversees a vast network of local subsidiaries and joint ventures tailored to each specific country’s regulations. This includes local entities like GrabCar, GrabFood, and digital banking partnerships with financial institutions like Singtel. The company continues to dominate the digital economy in its region through a strategy of hyper-localization and financial service expansion.
