Traveloka, Southeast Asia’s largest online travel app, said on Monday it “was looking to go public soon” and was evaluating a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) as a possible option.
“A SPAC is one of the options we are evaluating given we have been approached by a few SPACs,” Traveloka president Henry Hendrawan said in a statement.
The eight-year-old Indonesian startup, which claims more than 60 million downloads and has expanded into financial services, announced in July it had raised $250 million in its latest round.
Hendrawan told Reuters in an interview last year that Traveloka would consider a dual listing at home and in another centre such as the United States.
