印度尼西亞最大的初創公司Gojek的首席執行官納迪姆·馬卡里姆即將離開他共同創立的這家公司，加入印度尼西亞總統佐科·維多多的內閣。

納迪姆的辭職即刻生效。Gojek集團的總裁安德烈·索埃利斯托和聯合創始人凱文·阿魯維將接替他成為這家初創公司的聯席首席執行官。最近高達100億美元的估值讓它躋身東南亞估值最高的獨角獸行列，也成為印度尼西亞第一家估值達到100億美元的公司。這家公司也曾在2016年成為該國第一家估值超過10億美元的獨角獸。

它在東南亞的主要競爭對手是Grab，一家新加坡的打車應用程序，今年3月估值達到140億美元。Gojek的投資者包括谷歌（Google）、Visa，以及騰訊和京東等中國的一些科技巨頭。

Gojek成立于2010年，最早是一款打車應用程序。之后，它慢慢發展成為一款“超級應用”，開設了包括Go-Pay移動支付、GoFood食品雜貨快遞、（GoClean）家政甚至（Go-Massage）短信服務在內的多種業務。

Gojek的發言人在聲明中表示，公司為這種可能性做好了規劃，業務不會中斷。

發言人稱：“我們的創始人將在印度尼西亞走向全球舞臺的過程中扮演如此重要的角色，為此我們深感驕傲。”

印度尼西亞是全球人口第四多的國家，東南亞最大的經濟體，也是全球第16大經濟體。總統佐科·維多多又被稱作佐科威，在10月20日宣誓就任，而納迪姆則在10月21日宣布了辭職。

納迪姆在內閣的職位目前尚未公布，不過根據當地報道，他可能會進入該國新成立的數字經濟部，或是教育部。

在印度尼西亞政府發布官方聲明后，Gojek的發言人補充道，公司將在幾天之后發布另一份聲明，闡明此舉對于這家初創公司的意義。（財富中文網）

Nadiem Makarim, the chief executive of Gojek, Indonesia’s biggest startup, is resigning from the company he co-founded to join Indonesian president Joko Widodo’s cabinet.

Nadiem’s resignation goes into effect immediately. Gojek Group President Andre Soelistyo and co-founder Kevin Aluwi will replace Nadiem as co-CEOs of the startup, which was most recently valued at $10 billion, making it one of Southeast Asia’s most valuable unicorns and the first Indonesian company to reach $10 billion in valuation. It also became the country’s first unicorn when it passed the $1 billion mark in 2016.

Its main competitor in Southeast Asia is Grab, the Singapore-based ride-hailing app that was valued at $14 billion in March. Gojek’s investors include Google, Visa, and some of China’s largest technology companies including Tencent and JD.com.

Gojek was founded in 2010 as a ride-hailing app. It has since expanded into a “Super App” and offers mobile payment options through Go-Pay, grocery delivery through GoFood, as well as housekeeping (GoClean) and even massage services (Go-Massage).

A Gojek spokesperson said in a statement that the company had planned for this possibility and that there will be no disruption to business.

“We are very proud that our founder will play such a significant role in moving Indonesia onto the global stage,” the spokesperson said.

Indonesia is the world’s fourth most populous nation and Southeast Asia’s biggest economy, as well as the world’s 16th largest. President Joko, also known as Jokowi, was inaugurated on October 20 and Nadiem’s resignation was announced on October 21.

Nadiem’s cabinet position is currently unspecified, but according to local reports, he could play a role in the country’s new Digital Economy ministry or in education.

The Gojek spokesperson added that the company will release another statement on what this means for the startup within the next few days, following an official announcement from the Indonesian government.
