In this episode, we dive into Didi’s launch of its food delivery service in Goiânia through its local brand 99Food — and why it did so before Meituan’s Keeta.
Tune in as we unpack:
Didi’s decision to launch in Goiânia, a mid-sized city, over São Paulo;
How past experience in Brazil shaped Didi’s approach;
Will we see a repeat of the 2017–2018 Meituan vs. Didi battle;
