Swat Mobility to expand PHL operations

Smart mobility solutions startup Swat Mobility plans to expand its operations beyond Metro Manila, as its executives painted a rosy outlook for the Philippines in 2022.

In a media conference, Swat Mobility President Grace Ho said the group plans to “triple the investment” in the Philippines to further grow its workforce and expand its reach in Cebu, Central Luzon, and Calabarzon.

“We will spend more than a quarter a million Singaporean dollars in total to build the Philippine business. We have a very aggressive expansion agenda,” she said.  Based in Singapore, Swat Mobility provides clients with demand-responsive, ridesharing services in high-capacity vehicles. It launched in the Philippines in 2020 and has been capitalizing on the demand for shuttle services from various sectors, but is mainly driven by the demand from the manufacturing and outsourcing industries.
