I wrote this commentary for The Straits Times on #grab's narrowing focus on #digitalfinancialservices (i.e. #fintech). The #payment ecosystem in Singapore in particular (and in a few other countries in #southeastasia) remains stubbornly fragmented despite efforts by players such as #grabpay, #shopeepay as well as authorities. (Just think about all the non-interoperable #paynow #QRcodes). Top venture-funded players now realise that building digital financial services is a long game and have re-adjusted their strategies. Grab is in a more fortunate position compared to #shopee because it has built a moat, and does not face any strong competition. That said - its leadership needs to ensure that focused execution and market leadership do not translate into a rigid organisational culture. Thanks Yorlin Ng WeiHan Chen Sabrina Chong for the internal discussions - and Suling Lin for very patient editing (and de-jargonisation).

Did #Zomato overpay for #Paytm's ticketing business or is it better for the food delivery company in long run? Watch Agam Vakil and CA Mahima Vachhrajani in conversation with Elara Capital's Karan Taurani

#Liqo is evolving, and not only technically. A new governance model has been approved, which facilitates the interaction of the Liqo community with other stakeholders, e.g., other companies willing to collaborate in this project. Another step toward a more mature project.

Robinhood, which shot to fame after winning a funding deal from Siam Commercial Bank, has issued a statement announcing it will officially shut down on July 31, sunk by a cumulative loss of more than 5 billion baht ($140 million). Among the remaining players, Grab Food controls 47% of the Thai market and LINEMAN 36%. These services operate not only in Bangkok but also in famous tourist destinations such as Chiang Mai and Phuket. Both face huge cumulative losses, though their big slices of the market help them bring in more revenue. Grab suffered a 284 million baht loss in 2020, its first year operating a food delivery business. Its loss grew to 325 million baht in 2021 before reversing to 576 million baht profit in 2022 and a 1.3 billion baht profit in 2023. https://lnkd.in/gHf9SkEA

Just when you thought it was safe to come out, Grab and Gojek (GoTo) are back in conversations about a merger deal, according to reports. With both companies public, and very much the antithesis of each other, it remains to be seen if a deal can be done. A deal probably needs to be done for the sake of both businesses, but we shall see. Paytm, meanwhile, is in a tight spot with its wallet app likely to be rendered useless after February if it can’t figure out a solution after its sibling bank was hit by restrictions by the Reserve Bank of India due to persistent non-compliance. Elsewhere, SoftBank is hatching a plan to get over the tens of billions of dollars it ‘lost’ by selling its Nvidia stock early, Alibaba is going through a tough patch and much much more. And why are Chinese Bitcoin miners heading to Ethiopia? https://lnkd.in/gsQT4Bvn
