JAKARTA - Grab Indonesia revealed that as of December 2025, 3.7 million Driver Partners were registered, with around 700-800 thousand or 19-22% completing at least one order in the current month.
However, one of the prominent findings is that about 1 in 2 partners (50%) were previously victims of layoffs or did not have a source of income before joining the platform.
Grab Indonesia CEO, Neneng Goenadi, emphasized that this condition shows the role of digital platforms which are considered as a social cushion for people affected by economic turmoil.
"This is also what we said that Grab became a social cushion for 50% of our ojol," said Neneng at the Silaturahmi Ramadan Together with Grab Indonesia - Understanding the Dynamics of the Digital Platform Sector through the Grab Ecosystem on Thursday, February 26.
In addition, the majority of Grab's partners are over 36 years old with the last education of high school/vocational school. Grab recorded about 182,500 registered female Driver Partners, including single mothers who are the backbone of the family, as well as more than 700 disabled partners.
Meanwhile, the majority of partners make the Grab platform a side income - more than 80% of Wheel 2 Partners and about 67% of Wheel 4 Partners - while others rely on Grab as their main income.
According to Neneng, a flexible partnership model allows individuals to remain productive without being tied to fixed working hours, while also becoming an informal economic cushion for those affected by the turmoil in the labor market.
"So this is seen as a flexibility provided by Grab and fortunately by utilizing technology," he continued.
Thus, Grab reaffirms its commitment to continue to maintain a productivity-based approach and contribution, in line with the growth of the national digital economy, which increasingly involves millions of platform-based workers.
