Gojek made its Singapore debut in 2018, kickstarting efforts to challenge market incumbent Grab, and last July expanded a partnership with DBS Bank that enabled its ride-sharing customers to book and pay for their fares with the bank's digital payment app, PayLah. Grab, however, partners with e-commerce and retail players such as Zalora, Qoo10, and Shein to offer pay later services.

The deal also paved the way for the Southeast Asian mobile platform's much-anticipated public listing.ДЄll three companies play in the same ecosystem that encompasses ride-sharing, food delivery, and fintech services including digital wallets and insurance-though, Grab currently lacks the online marketplace piece that Tokopedia dominates in Indonesia. The Gojek-Tokopedia merger announcement followed Grab's merger deal last month that was touted to be the biggest US equity offering, clocking an estimated $39.6 billion, including $4.5 billion cash proceeds. 'We still have a long way to go to achieve our goals, but today is about starting that journey together.' 'Our goal has always been to build a company that creates social impact at scale, levelling the playing field for small businesses and giving consumers equal access to goods and services across ,' Tanuwijaya said. Tokopedia's co-founder and CEO William Tanuwijaya added that GoTo would make it 'easier' for anyone to access products and services, 'anytime, anywhere'. 'For the consumer, GoTo Group will continue to reduce frictions and provide best-in-class delivery of goods and services,' he said, in the joint statement.

Gojek drivers will deliver even more Tokopedia packages, merchant partners of all sizes will benefit from strengthened business solutions, and we will use our combined scale to increase financial inclusion in an emerging region with untapped growth potential. Soelistyo said: 'Today is a truly historic day as we mark the beginning of GoTo and the next phase of growth for Gojek, Tokopedia, and GoTo Financial. Tokopedia's president Patrick Cao had been appointed president for the new joint entity, and William Tanuwijaya would retain his role as CEO of the e-commerce marketplace. Gojek's co-CEO Andre Soelistyo would serve as CEO of GoTo as well as lead GoTo Financial, while Kevin Aluwi would remain as Gojek CEO. 'Our focus will be on strengthening local market connections through partnerships, continued enhancements to user experience and expanding our operations and footprint,' she added.ДЄccording to Gojek's website, the ride-sharing operator currently offers its services in 207 cities across five Southeast Asian markets, including Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand.

Responding to questions about its expansion plans in the region, she said GoTo would continue to focus on fast-growing and emerging markets where Gojek already operated, as it aimed to boost its market share and 'become a truly international player'. 'We have just completed this significant milestone and our immediate priority is to focus on integration and making sure we provide the best platform for the millions of consumers, merchants, and partners in our ecosystem,' she said in an email to ZDNet.

She also acknowledged the high interest in the company's potential plans for public listing, noting that any news here would be announced when it was ready to do so. The merger was supported by the companies' existing investors, which included Alibaba Group, Facebook, Google, JD.com, Temasek Holdings, Visa, and Tencent.ДЄ GoTo spokesperson told ZDNet the company now was the biggest tech company in Indonesia and the country's largest merger.ДЄsked about the deal's financial details and share distribution, the spokesperson said the agreement was 'an equal union' of both companies, with 'equal executive representation' on the board. Retail organisations that neglected to build a robust online infrastructure now should realise digital can no longer be an optional sideline and look to move forward by tapping digital technologies to support their physical stores.
