Last week, its shares fell the most in more than a year after the company reported slowing spending by customers grappling with a higher rate of inflation and rising interest rates.The two Tans, who are not related, founded Grab in 2012. Ms Tan then left briefly to work at other companies in the United States before rejoining Grab in April 2015. She led various operations and technology teams, and has also served as a member of Grab’s board since its stock market debut in the US in December 2021.In the memo to staff, Mr Tan said he wholeheartedly supports his co-founder’s decision to “pursue her personal passions at this time”.A succession plan has been in place for some time, he added.Grab is battling intensifying competition in South-east Asia’s ride-hailing and delivery markets, with the contenders luring customers with promotions and lower prices. Grab has been slower to reduce expenses than regional competitors – as Singapore’s Sea and Indonesia’s GoTo Group eliminated thousands of jobs in 2022, Grab refrained from mass layoffs.The company has predicted it can reach break-even on an adjusted basis in the last quarter of this year. While it reported a narrower quarterly loss last week, its customers are spending less on the platform than analysts expected. In the first quarter, its net loss narrowed to US$244 million (S$330 million) from US$423 million a year earlier.
