Founded in 2021, GoTo is a Jakarta-based tech conglomerate combining ride-hailing, food delivery, and financial services under one super app. It was formed through the merger of Gojek, Indonesia’s leading on-demand services platform, and Tokopedia, a major e-commerce marketplace.
GoTo’s mission is to simplify daily life for millions of users by offering seamless access to transportation, shopping, payments, and financial services—all in a single app. By integrating multiple services, GoTo aims to transform Southeast Asia’s digital economy.
GoTo’s story begins with Nadiem Makarim, founder of Gojek, who started the ride-hailing platform in 2010 to help Indonesian motorcycle drivers find more work through technology. Around the same time, Anthony Tan built Grab (Singapore-based), which became a Gojek competitor in ride-hailing and delivery.
In 2021, Gojek merged with Tokopedia, forming GoTo, Indonesia’s first true super app. This merger created a digital ecosystem encompassing millions of drivers, merchants, and consumers, allowing the company to scale its services faster than any single startup in the region.
