Go google u will know why Grab HQ in SG.

On surface GIC TS Holdings will tell U , this is why SG got jobs for the people .

BUT back end is " heywire " ...end up is We the people been " owned again "

This one I disagree. GIC TS is right to woo grab over. Back in boleh land, they have no idea how to find such companies so act dumb. GIC saw the opportunity and get grab to come over.

If the nasdaq bubble was to burst a bit later, GIC TS would have huat big big from the IPO.

At least grab is a viable business model and not like the Bitcoin or fashion company where investment failed badly due to no business sense.

FYI their GRAB PAY IS EPIC FAIL

Investors Are not fool , " of course there will have fool investors " or else how to " BS " them to invest.

There is food panda as a competitor....................

[Tangsen]

FYI I don’t even use any grab services
Only once is my relative book one PHV for me as it was late. In fact I can just take taxi but he already book that it


Come food delivery I don’t even use grab even others

As my side here just walking distance


u will say me old fashion? Nah fyi I study IT I thought I’m the only one like this but there are others who study IT one some also like me don’t use any these services

[Blasterlord2]

Grab is a lousy company, no innovation whatsoever, just a copycat. But founder is lucky as he has a rich family. Those with no connections will never be able to get funding.

All these copy cat start up are doomed to fail................

[sgbuffett]

You should never do a startup that replicate another startup that started earlier .....

Food delivery has like 4 or 5 big players backed by giants with endless cashflow.

Sometimes people do let their passion get the better of them.

But of one stands back and think clearly....it makes no sense at all.

I wanted to start a convenient shop some time back after studying the 7eleven and Buzz franchise my conclusion  is better to DIY but the effort will be significant so I put it on hold

[FangFang]

No bussiness

Well, can only say your lifestyle is different. If you don't use any of grab service, then I rest my case.

[ArielCasper]

Yup. Competition is normal. Not every business is like SPH where it is one and only.

But u are also like foreveralone where you use none of grab service, then hard to discuss since there won't be a baseline for discussion.
