What are the super apps?
Initially, the term super app was coined by Blackberry founder Mike Lazaridis. He called it an ‘ecosystem of many apps‘ that people can use to fulfil their daily needs. So basically, it is an app platform that provides multiple services such as food, taxi, grocery, parcel, etc. under one roof.

But the idea of the super app was implemented first by WeChat. Initially, WeChat was launched as a messaging app in 2011. But after some time, it got converted into an ecosystem that can support numerous apps over a single platform. Not only WeChat, but Indian payment service provider Paytm has also made a super app by allowing the third-party apps to provide their services on its platform.

However, the concept of super apps is not just limited to the eastern countries the western countries have also started using super apps for their business. Big brands like L’oreal, Facebook, and Nike are also considering making a super app.

WeChat is not the only company that is rocking the super app markets but also several other app development companies are planning to make a super app for themselves. Taxi service provider Grab has become a successful super app. Grab has a wide presence across the SEA region and also it has acquired the local subdivisions of Uber and UberEats.
