Softbank is Uber's biggest shareholder, and has spent over $20 billion to collected stakes in the biggest ridesharing players around the world from India's Ola to Singapore's Grab to China's Didi Chuxing.
Uber, which is slated to go public this week, is sometimes seen as the biggest player in ride-sharing.
SoftBank chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son has been making deals in the ride-sharing space for years and now the Japanese conglomerate has a hand in almost every major ride-sharing company. SoftBank has investments in Uber, Didi Chuxing, Grab in Southeast Asia, Ola in India and 99 in Brazil .With these investments comes a lot of influence. One way of looking at is that SoftBank is brokering peace by bringing competitors together so they can share resources and technology.
