“Our calling is one that continues to be very, very clear: How do we make sure nobody's left behind?” shares Anthony Tan, Co-founder & CEO of 500-backed superapp Grab. “Providing 13 million gig jobs is probably the largest job impact and poverty alleviation on a grand scale in 750 cities. That's what I would say makes us all really happy,” he added. Currently, Grab is focused on AI and they are set to launch a new voice assistant designed with visually impaired users in mind. It may seem simple and straightforward, but Anthony’s journey has been far from easy. To founders, he advises, “If you're ever to start again, or you're starting for the first time, be very clear, it has to be your life calling. I really mean it. If you don't, don't do it, because so many fail. It's that hard.” Watch the full interview on CNBC: https://cnb.cx/3Yw7Kyt #500Global #500SoutheastAsia #500Strong #startups #technology #innovation #venturecapital #asia #southeastasia #malaysia #superapp #gigeconomy Photo credit: CNBC
