介绍

This finding prompted Grab to ensure new and existing users had a consistently excellent Grab superapp experience, given the prevalence of low-end devices and disparate internet infrastructure in Southeast Asian regions. As a result, Grab initiated Project Bonsai in Q3 2021, with the goal of reducing and optimising the app size while enhancing user experience, reducing installation barriers, and boosting user acquisition.
