GoTo Group Invests $2.8M in Carousell

September 6, 2023

Indonesian holding company GoTo Group has invested $2.8M in Singapore-based horizontal marketplace specialist Carousell.

GoTo Group is the largest digital ecosystem in Indonesia, formed in 2021 as part of a merger that includes e-commerce specialist Tokopedia and on-demand delivery service Gojek.

According to its earnings presentation published in August, GoTo generated 5.8 IDR Trillion ($378M USD) in Q2 2023, a 6% YoY increase—at an EBITDA loss of $78M.

Meanwhile, Carousell's Q2 figures released in July paint a similar story—revenues grew but losses widened.
