102315873 OP : And to those regular users of the Grab app, you should be hoping that Grab never reaches such a dominant position. Prices would rise far above what they are now. For e.g. Do you really believe the ~$5 or so fees you are paying is sufficient to cover the full cost of your food delivery?

102315873 OP M103079281R : You do realize that the vast majority of startups fail without ever generating a cent in profit? The vast majority of the time, the naysayers are correct. It's illogical to think that because Amazon was successful, Grab will be as well. Their business models are very, very different.

102315873 OP M103079281R : Amazon's success stems from the fact that it controls the entire infrastructure on which it's deliveries are made, from procurement, to inventory management, to customer delivery. That's what it was spending all those initial years developing, and that's the reason it has such strong market power. Amazon always had a coherent plan to eventually start making money. In contrast, Grab's strategy today is still more or less the same as Grab's strategy 10 years ago - attempt to outlast everyone else by aggressively lowering prices below the breakeven point, and hope to be the last one standing. It has already been proven time and again that this doesn't work.

102315873 OP agar agar : Indeed I do! This is probably word-for-word exactly what Anthony would say if he gave an honest assessment of his company.
