Ryde Takes Center Court with Tennis Star Sarah Pang Joining Ryde Empowers!

By: via Business Wire

Ryde Group Ltd (NYSE American: RYDE) ("Ryde" or the “Company"), a technology company with a leading platform for mobility and quick commerce in Singapore, is proud to announce Ryde Empowers, a groundbreaking initiative designed to nurture and support local talent in Singapore. This initiative is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals to promote good health and well-being and reduced inequalities.

Ryde Empowers is dedicated to nurturing Singaporean talent and contributing to building a stronger, more vibrant community. Our goal is to provide comprehensive support that enables Singaporean athletes, community service leaders, artists, and musicians to excel both nationally and internationally. By focusing on three key pillars, we aim to create a robust support system:

  • Shine a Spotlight: Raise public awareness and foster community appreciation; connecting talents with a wider audience to celebrate their achievements and contributions.
  • Stories that Inspire: Offer a platform for sharing personal journeys and triumphs, helping talents connect with potential sponsors to receive direct support.
  • Supporting Incentives: Provide financial support to encourage talents to pursue excellence progressively, allowing them to focus on their growth and international exposure.

By achieving these goals, we aspire to empower local talents to reach their fullest potential by propelling their careers forward.

Ryde is thrilled to welcome Singaporean professional tennis player Sarah Pang as the first champion of the Ryde Empowers’ program. Sarah's journey exemplifies the unwavering spirit of excellence Ryde Empowers celebrates. Despite skepticism and funding obstacles, Sarah’s journey has consistently defied the odds. From juggling three jobs to self-funding her way to train in Spain, Sarah turned dreams into reality by finally breaking into the top 1% of players who break fresh onto the prestigious Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings annually. This was achieved 15 years after picking up a tennis racket, 5 of which were spent competing solo on the World Tour.

Sarah’s story is far from over. Recently selected as a fellow of the U.S. State Department’s Global Sports Mentorship Program (GSMP), Sarah continues upward in her trajectory of making Singapore proud as 1 of 16 women identified as emerging global female leaders in sport.

Sarah Pang expressed "I'm very proud to partner Ryde through Ryde Empowers. It’s so wonderful to see a local company forward-thinking about Singapore’s talent, and our country’s collective future."

Terence Zou, CEO and Founder of Ryde Group, shared, "We are committed to giving back to the community. Supporting individuals like Sarah Pang through Ryde Empowers provides local talents facing career challenges access to resources. Sarah’s resilience and determination mirrors our own startup journey and embodies the fighting spirit we value. By supporting talents like Sarah, we hope to help them achieve their dreams and inspire others with their stories."
