You guys missing the bigger picture. Uber didn't fail in Southeast Asia. The competition was so steep that Uber and Grab were losing a lot of money through aggressive marketing. I know how aggressive they were as I'm from Malaysia. So, Uber and Grab came to an agreement, where Uber sold off their business to Grab for 27.5% stake and a seat on the board. It have nothing to do with talent. It's pure business. Instead of lose-lose situation, they created a win-win situation for both.
