SINGAPORE: Southeast Asian ride-hailing and food delivery company Grab is in advanced talks to merge with its smaller Indonesian rival GoTo as the firms seek to stem years of losses, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
A new round of merger talks resumed in December last year, with investors eager to reach a deal in 2025. An agreement may not happen, said the sources, with on-and-off negotiations in previous years all falling through. The people declined to be identified as the talks are private.
GoTo was formed after Gojek and e-commerce platform Tokopedia merged in 2021.
Grab and Gojek
In December 2020, Grab reportedly informed its staff that it was in a position to acquire Gojek.
GoTo said in February last year that it was not in any discussion with Grab about a potential merger.
