[BANGKOK] When SCB X – the largest financial group in Thailand – decided recently to reverse plans to shut down the loss-making food delivery platform Robinhood due to interest from potential buyers, the move suggested that some consolidation could be in store for the sector.
However, it still remains to be seen if a knight in shining armour will show up to rescue Robinhood.
