PT Gojek Indonesia (stylized in all lower case and stylized j as goȷek, formerly styled as GO-JEK) is an Indonesian on-demand multi-service platform and digital payment technology group based in Jakarta. Gojek was first established in Indonesia in 2009 as a call center to connect consumers to courier delivery and two-wheeled ride-hailing services. Gojek launched its application in 2015 with only four services: GoRide, GoSend, GoShop, and GoFood. Valued at US$10 billion today, Gojek has transformed into a super app, providing more than 20 services.[2][3]

Gojek operates in 5 countries: Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines (through the acquisition of Coins.ph).[4][5][6][7][8] Gojek is the first Indonesian unicorn company[9] as well as the country's first "decacorn" company.[10] It is the only company in Southeast Asia that is included in Fortune's "50 Companies That Changed the World" in 2017 and 2019, ranked at 17 and 11, respectively.[11] As of June 2020, it has about 170 million users throughout Southeast Asia.[12]

On 17 May 2021, Gojek and Tokopedia announced the completion of their merger and established a new holding company, called GoTo.[13][14]

Gojek has won financial backing from investors including Astra International, Blibli, Google, Facebook, PayPal, Mitsubishi, Sequoia, Northstar Group, Temasek Holdings, KKR, Warburg Pincus, Visa, Parallon, Siam Commercial Bank, Tencent, JD.com, meituan.com, and Capital Group, among others.[15]
