About GajiGesa
Founded in 2020 by Martyna Malinowska and Vidit Agarwal, GajiGesa is located in Jakarta, Indonesia. GajiGesa is a management and wellness platform for employees and workers offering financial services, management tools and counselling. The platform helps expand economic resilience for workers and enables partner companies to effectively and efficiently manage their workforce and cash flow. It empowers employers with the tools to provide holistic financial, health and education benefits to their employees on an all-in-one integrated platform. The core financial wellness solution is built around Earned Wage Access (EWA) which allows employees to withdraw their earned salary in advance of traditional month-end payday cycles, eliminating the need for predatory lenders. It helps MSMEs streamline activities related to employee management and reduce time spent on collating and managing staff records.

“Millions of workers and SMEs across Southeast Asia remain underserved. We’re on a mission to expand financial security and dignity to every workplace by giving workers access to their hard-earned wages on-demand. The growing momentum, interest, and support in fintech solutions that accelerate financial inclusion is clear and we’re excited to use the additional runway to expand our reach beyond Indonesia to more markets across the region.”
