The partnership with Dhipaya is part of Gojek’s GoStronger initiative, an effort to help ensure the health, livelihoods and safety of everyone across its ecosystem. The insurance program is a continuation of the COVID-19 insurance program launched during the first outbreak in March 2020, which offered a one-year-coverage to the driver partners free of charge.
Shri Chakravarthy, Gojek Thailand’s Country General Manager said that since the beginning of the pandemic, Gojek has worked continuously to find new ways to support our partners – especially driver partners – the frontline heroes who provide for the daily needs of Gojek’s users, and keep the city moving.
“We’ve done this through the creation of new income-earning opportunities as well as ongoing educational outreach on health and safety – all to allow our driver partners to continue to deliver the best possible service and to return home safely each day.”
Gojek is ready to further support its driver partners, merchant partners and all users through its GoStronger campaign by delivering hygienic, reliable services, reducing expenses, increasing income and more.
