The regional partnership expands GrabExpress’s delivery services beyond its on-demand and same-day parcel and courier delivery service to include more options like nationwide scheduled deliveries, the firm said, adding that it also enlarges GrabExpress’s regional coverage to allow for inter-city deliveries.

GrabExpress, which is available in 150 cities across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia, allows consumers, e-commerce platforms and social commerce sellers to send and receive parcels easily.

Likewise, the regional partnership with Grab will allow Ninja Van to make its services available to Grab’s large user base in these countries, especially SMBs and social selling communities.

As part of the strategic partnership, Grab has invested in Ninja Van. Ninja Van will also work towards adopting GrabPay across its platform and collaborate to roll-out lending and insurance products offered by Grab Financial Group to its merchants and delivery partners.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
