JAKARTA: Go-Jek, Indonesia's first billion-dollar startup, is “extremely close” to achieving profitability in all its segments, except transportation, its founder and CEO Nadiem Makarim told Reuters.
Launched in 2011 in Jakarta, Go-Jek – a play on the local word for motorbike taxis – has evolved from a ride-hailing service to a one-stop app allowing clients in South-East Asia's largest economy to make online payments and order everything from food, groceries to massages.
