GRAB'S R&D IN INDIA ALIGNS EFFORTS WITH STRATEGIC FOCUS AREAS

摘要

Could you tell us about the areas that India R&D center is focusing on? Bangalore is one of the important global fintech hubs, and hence having an R&D center here has allowed us to leverage the deep bench of tech talent that is available locally. The software engineers have deep knowledge of new mobile-first technologies and experience in developing new payments solutions. A major part of the team in Bangalore is focused on developing solutions for Grab Financial Group. We have developed an E-wallet for South-East Asian region that is allowing users to make cashless payments in a safe and convenient way. The payment data insights have also enabled us to serve the unbanked population better. For example, we can now offer our driver and merchants partners lending and insurance services based on the data on their spending patterns.
