HO CHI MINH CITY -- Gojek is bulking up its Vietnam arsenal to battle dominant ride-hailing app Grab by partnering with MoMo, a local e-wallet unicorn whose users outnumber the country's entire market for ride-hailing.

Vietnamese can use MoMo to pay for a ride by motorbike or car, as well as for food and parcel delivery, Gojek said on Monday.
