(Reuters). -Grab Holdings Ltd., Southeast Asia’s number one ride-hailing and food delivery company. On Thursday, the No. 1 ride-hailing company and food delivery service reported an increase of 6% in its quarterly revenues as customers ordered more food online.

Grab predicted GMV of deliveries for the second quarter at $2.55 billion to $2.65 billion. Grab also forecast GMV in the mobility segment between $0.95 billion to $1 billion. This was to ensure that the worst pandemics were over.
