Aldi: Embracing the Values that Make Us Indonesian

"Apapun yang kamu lakukan, berilah akses untuk orang yang paling membutuhkan."

From a young age, Aldi Haryopratomo's father had always encouraged him to empower people who needed help the most. As he grew to become a serial entrepreneur, Mas Aldi linked up with college friend Nadiem Makarim to start GOPAY, where he became a local hero who revolutionized Indonesia's financial technology industry. But today, he's on a different mission.

After stepping down from CEO of GOPAY at the start of the year, Mas Aldi sets his sights on being a better investor, father, and mentor. As commissioner of HaloDoc and the initiator of Oxygen for Indonesia, Mas Aldi embraced another Indonesian value, gotong royong, as he united various Indonesian startups and VCs to bring oxygen concentrators and help us heal. In today's Independence Day Special, Aldi shares stories about his big breaks, the potential of Indonesia's future (ehem GoTo), and finding something you believe in. Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan yang ke-76!
