He said Astra was highly impressed by Go-Jek’s effort to keep on innovating. “I felt very proud when I read Fortune’s “Change the World” list and saw Go-Jek’s name there,” Prijono said, referring to the list of influential companies compiled by Fortune in 2017. Go-Jek founder and CEO Nadiem Makarim said the investment from Astra was the largest the company had ever received. Nadiem further explained that the partnership between Astra and Go-Jek will involve vehicle supply and financing.
