Grab's revenue breached US$1b mark: report

But it still has no plans to breakeven.

Citing Mandarin news site Yicai, DealStreetAsia reports that Grab's annual revenue has crossed US$1b, as said by Grab president Ming Maa himself.

According to the report, despite crossing US$1b in annual revenue, the company has not considered breaking even. Maa said the company continues to invest heavily in financial services and has not yet considered profitability.

“This year is a critical year for the entire industry but the acquisition of Uber gives us a competitive edge in Southeast Asia,” Maa was quoted as saying.

Moreover, Grab has been expanding at a rapid pace. Within a year, it has expanded into 162 new Southeast Asian cities. It has also acquired rival Uber's Southeast Asian operations.

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.
