Amendment No.2 to Draft Registration Statement

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Operating Metrics, page 53

1. We note your response to comment 9; however, your response suggests that metrics associated with trips, active customers, new and/or returning, and/or driver partners are material to you. If true, revise to disclose this information for specific historical and comparative periods.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised disclosure on pages 53 of the Amendment No.2 to the Draft Registration Statement, where the Company disclosed and provided further explanation on number of transactions, number of unique active driver partners and number of unique active consumers for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 .

Factors affecting our performance

Ability to grow our revenues from ride-hailing and quick commerce, page 54

2. We note your response to comment 11 and reissue in part. In an appropriate place in your disclosure, acknowledge that revenue attributable to mobility and quick commerce increased only slightly from the year ended December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022. Additionally, explain whether and why you expect your ability to increase revenues will be hindered by the incentives you intend to continue to offer consumers. We note your revisions to discuss inherent challenges and risks that could hinder your ability to sustain and further increase revenue. However, this discussion appears to be focused on external forces, including competition and adoption by and satisfaction of consumers and driver-partners rather than express the dynamic of how offering these incentives may negatively impact your ability to grow revenues.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised disclosure on pages 53 of the Amendment No. 2 to the Draft Registration Statement, where the Company (a) acknowledged that revenue attributable to mobility and quick commerce increased marginally from the year ended December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022; and (b) elaborated on how offering the incentives may negatively impact our ability to grow revenues.

Business

Fees, page 75

3. We note your response to comment 15, including revised disclosure to discuss the fee charged to your riders and the cash incentives provided to your driver partners. Explain how you determine the amount and timing of the incentives you offer to your consumers. And as reflected in our prior comment, please further revise your disclosure to discuss how these approaches allow you to manage the challenges with growing your base of users while also increasing revenues (e.g., by incentivizing drivers to complete a certain number of trips you increase revenues while managing costs, or experiencing an exponential benefit).

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised disclosure on page 75 of the Amendment No.2 to the Draft Registration Statement, where the Company elaborated on (a) the amount and timing of incentives offered to the consumers, and (b) how providing driver incentives enables the Company to manage the challenges of growing its consumer base while also increasing revenues.
