Currently, I am fortunate enough to be working for Gojek Indonesia’s first Decacorn (is a word used for those companies over $10 billion) as a Growth Hacker for the 3PP or Third-Party Platform team. In this short article, I will be giving you folks a little sneak peek into Gojek’s cultures and best practices that morphed this startup into a globally leading Tech Giant it is today!

Now this might seem like a lot but I did not join Gojek having these ten values rather less than a handful, and even now I am still working on a lot of them! But through this journey I’ve learned to be much more data-driven, accepting of radical candor, and collaborate with the greatest talents in Southeast Asia!
Nevertheless, don’t forget to have fun and enjoy the process!
