Ride-hailing service provider Grab is hiring more than 800 new research and development staff over the next two years as it seeks to boost its ride-hailing and payment services.
In addition, it is also adding two new R&D centres, which will be opening in Bangalore and Ho Chi Minh City over the next two years, the Singapore-based company said in a statement on Wednesday.
The new locations will expand Grab's engineering centres beyond Beijing, Jakarta, Singapore and Seattle. In Bangalore, Grab will recruit about 200 new researchers, who will develop new payments technologies for GrabPay, the company's digital-payments services.
