Go-Jek is an Indonesian based on demand service providing company that came out on the street of Jakarta as a bike taxi service. Their business plan of two-wheeler taxi service went successfully as commuting from one place to another in the megacities like Jakarta is quite difficult in cars. But, on bikes, it is far much better to get accurate navigation.
As this service was successful, Go-Jek found their navigation solution and started their taxi services on four wheeler vehicles too. Their solution was the Jakarta’s local taxi company, Blue Bird to which they got a partnership and finally present the GoCar private car service.
Recently, Go-Jek has taken over some of the Indian tech muscle that was at their start-up stage. The companies are Left shift, CodeIgnition, C42 Engineering, and Pianta. Their technological centre in Bangalore, India was their first overseas office.
