Amazon plans to invest in Gojek
e-commerce US giant Amazon is reportedly wooing Gojek to invest in the company ride-hailing in that homeland.
The news was stated by a source who did not want to be named. According to him, Amazon was one of the companies persuaded to make a funding turnaround.
However, there is no detailed information about how much funds were injected and for what purpose. Gojek also has not provided news regarding this investment as well as Amazon which has not responded.
As Dafunda Tekno quoted from Bloomberg, negotiations between Amazon and Gojek are in the form of strengthening Amazon’s steps in entering Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
Amazon has previously invested in the region, starting with Amazon Prime Now in Singapore 2022.
However, until now, not many Southeast Asian countries have been invited by Amazon to invest in one of Indonesia’s start-ups.
