The combination of ride-hailing and e-commerce has made the group stronger in terms of diversification of business, revenue, and bottom line, which wouldn’t be possible as a single-use case player, said Patrick Cao, President, GoTo Group.
GoTo Group, formed by the merger of Indonesian ride-hailing major Gojek and e-commerce unicorn Tokopedia, has been operational as a merged entity for over five months.
Speaking at a fireside chat titled “GoTo: Value creation where the whole is greater than the sum of parts,” at the Asia PE-VC Summit 2021, Cao said, “It [the merger] has helped to compete with other competitors in Indonesia, the largest economy in the region, also in the other markets, including Singapore and Vietnam.”
