Uber Fails to Regional Rival Grab in South East Asia Market


After bowing out of China, Uber makes its second retreat from Asia. Uber has agreed to sell its South East Asian operations to rival, Grab, but will still hold a 30% share in the company.
CEO of Uber, Dara Khosrowshahi explains that Uber has pulled out of the SEA market due to “fierce competition” and a lack of profitability. The company will now shift its focus to Australia, Latin America, Europe and the US. However, Khosrowshahi has stated that he will continue to “invest aggressively” into South East Asia.

Uber’s bow out of South East Asia is another episode of its continuance in a series of downfalls in the last year for the company. The previous year they had lost 4.5 billion dollars due to competition, regulatory violations in Europe and sexual harassment allegations from their former CEO.

Uber is currently preparing for its first public offering in 2019.
