GoTo: the history behind its technology business

GoTo was formed in 2021 through the merger of Indonesian ride-hailing and payments company Gojek with e-commerce platform Tokopedia.

How GoTo developed

The combination brought mobility, food delivery, digital payments and e-commerce into one group, and GoTo listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in April 2022. The group later restructured its e-commerce relationship as TikTok invested in and took operational control of Tokopedia’s commerce business.

GoTo in 2026

By 2026, GoTo’s core activities centred on on-demand services and financial technology, with its ecosystem still closely connected to Indonesian digital commerce.

Why the history matters

GoTo’s history captures the development of Southeast Asian ‘super app’ businesses that used frequent everyday services to build payments, logistics and merchant networks at national scale.
