In March, Grab said its senior leaders would take a pay cut of up to 20 per cent, while in April, as its revenues continued to fall, the next highest level of Grab leaders followed suit with a 20 per cent pay cut, while its employees were encouraged to take voluntary no-pay leave.

“We were able to save many jobs through this redeployment of resources and it helped to limit the scope of the reduction exercise to just under 5 per cent,” he said.
