The new face of ride-hailing coming up in Asia is a startup named Go-Jek. It is a startup from Jakarta in Indonesia and it specializes in ride-hailing and logistics. It is the first unicorn company and the only company from South East Asia which is included in Fortune’s 50 companies.

How was Go-Jek born and what was its motto?

The name Go-Jek comes from “Ojek” motorbike taxis which are found all over Indonesia. It was founded in 2010 by Nadiem Makarim with just 20 motorbike drivers.

Nadiem worked at McKinsey and CO. consulting for three years before starting Go-Jek. Go-Jek started in a tiny call center with only 20 Ojek drivers, who later became the recruiters. Nadiem was a frequent traveler in Ojek. He soon understood that the Ojek drivers spend most of their time in waiting for their customers and the customers waste time walking around looking for an available Ojek.

Go-Jek was built to solve this problem where it provided a platform where the drivers and the riders can connect efficiently. This allowed drivers to improve their income. Go-Jek’s mission was to improve social welfare by ensuring efficiency in the market. First, it was started as a ride-hailing phone service but later it evolved to provide on-demand transport and lifestyle services according to the needs of the cities.

The launch of GoJek app and services

With Nadiem’s idea, Go-Jek app was launched in January 2015. The app has more than 130 million downloads despite being in just three markets.

Go-Jek wants to spread positive social impact by increasing the earnings of their partners and drivers ensuring a better standard of living for all. As of May 2018, Go-Jek ’s fleet exceeds 1 million drivers and offers 18 app-based on-demand services. Some of the services provided by them are – Go ride, Go car, Go food, Go med etc. They also have payment services like Go pay, Go bill etc. A few lifestyle improvement services are Go massage, Go clean etc.

Two more upcoming services are related to the online content business which makes them the provider of around 20 on-demand services under one platform.

How Go-Jek manages 1 million drivers with only 12 engineers? (Updated on – 28-June 2019) 

During the initial years of GoJek, when GoJek had a few customers, the working module of Go-Jek was totally manual – if a customer wants to make a request for a service, he needs to call Go-Jek team and Go-Jek team assigns the drivers by checking the shift-time in the excel sheet. As the business grew, they created an app which runs on the Java platform. But, the algorithms they used to assign the drivers to the users soon went extinct as the number of riders and users was still growing.

However, they kept peeling the onion until they successful wrote a new, very efficient algorithm. Currently, human involvement in their business processes is very less. All important works which take hours for a human to complete are now able to complete within seconds due to their next-gen algorithm.
