PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk (GOTO), a leading tech company in Indonesia, represented the nation’s digital and fintech sectors at the Indonesia-India CEO Forum in New Delhi on January 25, 2025. The event aimed to enhance trade and investment ties between the two countries.

Patrick Walujo, CEO of GoTo, expressed his pride in participating in the forum. He highlighted the role of the digital economy in driving growth in both Indonesia and India.

The forum was organized by Kamar Dagang dan Industri (Kadin) Indonesia and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). It brought together high-level business leaders to discuss opportunities for collaboration.

This year’s forum focused on five key industries: technology, food and agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, and energy transition. GoTo, with its expertise in digital technology and fintech solutions, played a significant role in the discussions.

Walujo emphasized how sectors like AI and fintech can drive economic growth. He stated, "I am proud to represent Indonesia’s tech industry at this high-level platform. We are here to discuss how the digital sector can support sustainable growth in both Indonesia and India."

GoTo’s participation was seen as a key step in enhancing collaboration between the two nations in areas such as AI and fintech. The company’s extensive experience in these fields made it an ideal representative for Indonesia’s tech industry.

Besides GoTo, other notable Indonesian CEOs and entrepreneurs attended the forum. This included Hashim Djojohadikusumo, Anindya N. Bakrie, and Vikram Sinha. Their participation reinforced Indonesia’s commitment to strengthening business ties with India.

The CEO Forum continues the work started in 2018, when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Jakarta to meet with President Joko Widodo. The forum is a platform for strengthening economic relations between the two countries.

In 2025, the focus on AI, digital economy, and fintech was particularly timely. Both countries are prioritizing innovation to boost their economies. GoTo’s role in this forum underscores its position as a leader in driving digital transformation in the region.
