SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Singapore-headquartered super app Grab s plans to go public in the United States, in what is the largest blank cheque company deal ever, is testament to the growth prospects of South-east Asia and Singapore s start-up ecosystem, analysts and industry players said.
Grab, which started out as MyTeksi to address the safety concerns of taxi commuters in Kuala Lumpur, announced on Tuesday (April 13) its agreement with Altimeter Growth, a special purpose acquisition company (Spac) backed by Altimeter Capital, which will see the combined entity valued at around US$39.6 billion (S$53.2 billion).
Rajive Keshup, investment director at Cathay Innovation, said the deal spotlights the South-east Asia ecosystem - a market not driven primarily by capital or stimulus bubbles, but by economic fundamentals, such as the growth of the middle class, consumption and discretionary spending.
