Singapore-based tech startup Grab Holdings is courting partners from China to help it become a Southeast Asian super-app providing a plethora of services beyond its original ride-hailing offering, according to co-founder Hooi Ling Tan.

Touting the company’s status as the region’s leading ride-hailing and food-delivery service provider, Tan told Caixin during an interview in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta that Grab was already the “preferred choice” for global companies, especially Chinese ones, hoping to tap into the huge market potential of the region.

“As long as we carry on doing what we’ve been doing, we’ll continue to be the number one choice,” Tan said, pointing to Grab’s recent tie-ups with a series of Chinese companies including online insurance group ZhongAn and healthcare service provider Ping An Good Doctor.
