According to Nguyen Vu Duc, CEO and co-founder of Go Viet, the company is expected to meet the travel demand of the Vietnamese customers and provide a stable income for tens of thousands of drivers in the local market through advanced technology, which is tailor-made for the Vietnam's market.
With the aim of becoming the largest multi-service platform in Vietnam, Go-Viet will start with the service of transport and goods delivery first, then food delivery, e-payment and other services, Duc added.
In May, Go-Jek announced its decision to invest about US$500 million to move into four new markets in Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines.
