Gojek

Two of Southeast Asia’s fiercest unicorn rivals have held ‘casual’ discussions.

The two companies share Mitsubishi and Visa as investors.

Digitarasa aims to find the most promising startups and SMEs in the culinary industry.

The country now has six unicorn companies, where three of them are in the e-commerce sector.

The latest deal builds upon an existing collaboration between the two companies, which allows users to book Blue Bird taxis from the Gojek app.

Gojek took on and later tied up with Blue Bird to conquer the Indonesian market.

The reported Blue Bird buy is one of the company’s recent moves to scale its services in Southeast Asia.

Gojek Xcelerate has helped 24 startups from seven countries to date.
