When we speak to people who’ve seen Gojek grow from ‘What is Gojek?’ and ‘Oh, it’s a call center right?’ to ‘Wait, you have ALL these products?’ and ‘Ah, the Super App’, it’s full of incredible stories. And these are stories of individuals and communities who stopped at nothing and always found a way (#PastiAdaJalan). 💪

One such legendary story is that of Sam Diah, Gojek’s employee number 0003.

“I was a one woman army”, says Anuradha Lipare, talking about her initial days in Gojek. Her long-standing passion for technology has morphed into an expertise in data security and privacy that now ensures the safety, trustworthiness, and reliability of our Gojek ecosystem.
