Indonesia based ride-hailing
startup Go-Jek announced its acquisition of Bengaluru based AirCTO, an
artificial intelligence based recruitment platform for an undisclosed amount.
Go-Jek will use the acquisition to
open its second engineering and product development centre in Gurgaon. As part
of the deal, the AirCTO team will join Go-Jek with immediate effect and will
look at building products that accelerate recruitments for Go-Jek. The company
has also announced the opening of a new office in Gurgaon, for which Go-Jek
plans to hire 100 employees aiming to reach a headcount of 500 in India by the
year-end.
Other expansion plans include more
acquisitions in India, with Go-Jek actively exploring the start-up space,
particularly entities with expertise in engineering, design and product management.
Go-Jek currently runs one of the largest JRuby, Clojure, Java and Go clusters
in Asia. Its robust tech-infrastructure is built and managed by over 350
engineers, who manage operations across Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and
Vietnam.
The
Indonesian company offers on-demand ordering of food, last-mile commuting,
digital payments, shopping, hyper-local delivery, grocery delivery, and two
dozen services on its super app. The app was first launched in January 2015 for
consumers in Indonesia. Go-Jek now operates in 204 cities and regions in five
Southeast Asian countries.
