Grab Food Background

Grab Holdings Inc., or just Grab, is a Singaporean multinational corporation


located in the city-state of Singapore. The firm also provides meal delivery and digital
payment services via a smartphone app in addition to transportation. It began as the My
Teksi app in Kuala Lumpur in 2012, and then became Grab Taxi the following year.
Following the "super app" concept, it has since extended into additional services. It
relocated its headquarters to Singapore in 2014. It is mostly active in Southeast Asia. It
is the region's first "decacorn" (a startup valued at more than US$10 billion), with a
valuation of just under US$40 billion as of May 2021.

 Anthony Tan is the chief executive and co-founder of Southeast Asia's dominant
ride-hailing app, Grab, the region's first unicorn.

 Tan could have had an easy ride with his family's auto business, run by his
father, Tan Heng Chew, but in 2012 he struck out on his own.

 Grab now offers services in eight countries and has branched out into motorcycle
taxis, delivery services and software R&D.

 Grab's investors include Softbank, Didi Chuxing and Toyota. Uber acquired a
stake after Grab bought out its regional operations in 2018.

 In April 2021, Tan announced Grab's U.S. listing by merging the firm with a
special-purpose acquisition company that will value it at $39.6 billion.

I t's difficult to imagine why or why individuals would do this after reading post after
post on the internet regarding fraudulent orders. More "pranksters" are executing
schemes like this now because going out is limited and many people rely on ordering
food since it is easier and more convenient. Some of them not only prank one delivery
rider, but ten, and according to the report, 16 drivers were “pranked” into delivering to a
false address in 2020.
In these situations, some internet users took matters into their own hands and
formed Facebook groups where drivers could post the food they were duped into
purchasing. This is a wonderful solution, but it's awful to think that things like this
continue to happen. Fortunately, firms like as Grab and Food Panda are strengthening
their driver policies.

Companies who deliver packages should make it a priority to find a solution to


this issue. A method through which our delivery drivers are not the ones who suffer from
fraudulent orders. ICYDK, with COD (cash on delivery) orders, the driver is responsible
for payment until your package arrives at your doorstep.
