Founder devenbhooshan suggests building a website cataloging "Gojek mafia stories" — the wave of ex-Gojek employees now founding companies in AI, observability, drones and EV. He cites a shared example: Shuru, built by former Gojek folks, has grown to 200+ people while maintaining a culture employees repeatedly praise. He's polling whether to actually build it.
