Testimonials Founder Gojek

Jakarta is a metropolitan city with a high level of activity. Almost all roads in Jakarta hit a standstill, especially dijam to and from work. This is certainly very disturbing and makes it less convenient for residents when going to perform the activity. Public transportation is provided by the government seems to be still insufficient to reduce congestion in Jakarta.

Many people who choose to use gojek to avoid traffic jams. This makes Nadiem Makariem to set up a taxi company with the online system. The company named Go-Jek or better known as Gojek.
Nadiem not live in the family background of the entrepreneur, his parents came from cities in Central Java. His father was a lawyer, and his mother worked in the field of non-profit. In his family, only Nadiem the plunge into an entrepreneur.

Gojek founder's story started since high school, Nadiem moved to Singapore to school. Then he continued in the United States to major in International Relations at Brown University. After that, Nadiem continue its S2 level at Harvard Business School and holds a Master of Business Administrator.

Early establishment of Gojek

As motorcycle users in Jakarta, Nadiem see many motorcycle taxi drivers who actually spent time in the base to wait for passengers. This is certainly less effective and efficient, so Nadiem Gojek founded in 2011. The area includes Jabodetabek Gojek operation, and the most in the South and Central Jakarta. Until now, this standard enterprise already has more than 3000 pengojek working.
Besides helping to avoid traffic jams, Gojek also use the system by means of online orders.

This makes Gojek more attractive because it can be ordered via the application on the smartphone.

Another thing that makes us uncomfortable is that we ride a motorcycle taxi has a GPS, which makes us safer as a user. As founder Gojek, Nadiem apply to passenger fares according to mileage. Then the method of payment through credit.
