Grab will add five more markets across Selangor to its ‘Pasar by
GrabMart’ service in its endeavour to empower and ensure that
small traditional businesses and micro-entrepreneurs will not be
left behind as the country transitions to a digitised nation. The
initiative allows customers to buy fresh produce, spices, poultry,
seafood and meat directly from the TTDI Market in the comfort of
their home. Grab’s Ramadan partnership with local governments
and organisations will also give it a larger stage to accelerate its
support for small traditional businesses and micro-entrepreneurs.
The company has been actively supporting restaurants with
immediate cash flow through its zero-interest, ‘Deferred
Commissions’ programme. It further introduced zero-commissions
for self-pickup orders and absorbs all related transaction costs for
orders received via social channels with a GrabPay payment option.
The company also mobilised more than 100,000 GrabCar drivers
not only to support the increase in demand for delivery services but
also to ensure that the latter continue to have an income
throughout the Movement Control Order (MCO) period which has
greatly impacted the e-hailing business.
