Didi Global Inc.
A Beijing-based company that runs one of the world's largest ride-hailing platforms, connecting millions of riders with taxi, private-car, carpool, and bike services through its DiDi app in China and overseas. It began in 2012 when former Alibaba salesman Cheng Wei built a taxi-hailing app after seeing commuters stranded in a Beijing blizzard, naming it Didi Dache — "didi" being the Chinese onomatopoeia for a car horn, like "beep beep." In 2015 it merged with rival Kuaidi and rebranded as DiDi Chuxing to reflect its growth beyond taxis.
