Grab Thailand has launched an initiative titled 'Smart Aging, Graceful Living: Embracing Tech & AI' to equip elderly Thais with digital skills essential for adapting to modern technologies like Generative AI.

This program not only aids seniors in their daily activities but also offers supplementary income opportunities.

Responding to Thailand’s shift towards a Super Aged Society, the program strives to enhance the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of the elderly, improving self-esteem and reducing societal economic impacts.

A travel guide, 'Bangkok: Taste, Tour, Treasure,' curated by Grab's senior drivers, celebrates International Day of Older Persons.

Key highlights include digital skills development courses on technology, physical health, and mental well-being, alongside additional benefits such as healthcare and income opportunities.

Presently, Grab hosts over ten thousand senior drivers, emphasizing safety and valuable work experience.
