It also intends to roll out other products from the Grab suite, and grow its Indonesian tech workforce by the end of this year.Ridzki Kramadibrata, managing director of Grab Indonesia, said the 100 cities expansion also looks to enhance the company’s mission to provide people across Indonesia with increased access to convenient cash payments.
