The company aims to raise US$50 million in a new round of funding to help accelerate regional expansion, Tuất adds.

According to Tuất: “We chose Myanmar and Indonesia as we have relevant strategies for them in place. We already have strategic partners in these two markets to launch our services.”

In August, FastGo secured an undisclosed amount of funding from VinaCapital Ventures, which the firm then used to expand its operations into the coastal city of Đà Nẵng.

“The launch in Indonesia and Myanmar will not affect our expansion and development in Vietnam,” Tuất concludes.

Going forward, FastGo plans to deploy its service into the Philippines, Cambodia and Thailand.
