Grab has launched its regional center of excellence in Malaysia – the second showing of its “strong” investment back home. The first one is the opening of its research and development facility in Kuala Lumpur last month.
Grab Malaysia’s country head, Sean Goh, explained that the investment back into the country is part of Grab’s response to Malaysia’s call for public-private partnerships to drive the country’s Industry 4.0 blueprint and digital economy ambitions.
The regional center of excellence will spearhead the development of an in-house pool of highly skilled professionals. Together with the R&D center, it targets to create 400 new “high-value” jobs, bringing its total Malaysia-based employees to 1,000. “They will be given the opportunity to take a regional lens in offering solutions and implementing projects,” Grab said in a statement.
The newly expanded 54,000 sq ft office space will house the company’s “core business strategy and operational functions,” which includes legal, customer experience, financial services, and creative services.
