A company is not something you easily founded, a good company is built with a solid foundation and solid strategy. Kusumo Martanto built Blibli from scratch using a customer-centric approach. Recently celebrating its 10th anniversary, the company has reached some major milestones. Also, he plays a role as the COO of GDP Venture as a channel to create an investment vehicle to further develop Indonesia's digital industry

Before the tech industry era, Martanto has been trained to overcome challenges. From educational struggle, adapting to the new culture with limited vocabulary, and surviving the life of an overseas student with scholarship demands and a part-time job. However, all his constant effort pays off as he finally gets a chance to pursue a career in the tech industry.
