AWS, But For Manpower? GoGet's 11-Year Gig Economy Journey

From a simple app for errands in 2014, GoGet has evolved into a digital staffing powerhouse with nearly 400,000 verified workers and an eight-figure annual revenue. As a pioneer in Malaysia's gig economy, what is the story behind their 11-year journey?

Co-Founder and CEO Franchesca Chia joins us to share her experience. She discusses their evolution from a consumer-focused app to a primarily B2B platform, their proactive role in advocating for gig worker protection, and their exciting new venture: a workforce management SaaS tool for the traditional staffing industry.

We discuss:

  • The 11-year journey from a B2C errand app to an 8-figure B2B platform.

  • Their proactive role in advocating for gig worker rights, including EPF integration.

  • The "digital resume" feature that provides data-driven verification of skills.

  • Their new chapter: launching a workforce management SaaS tool for the industry.

Produced by: Carol Wong

Presented by: Roshan Kanesan
