Who teaches, and who decides.

Session 01 · Problem, Customer & Market Validation

Hanindia Narendrata

CEO Compas.co.id · E-Commerce Data Enthusiast · The Versatile Athlete of Life

Hanindia Narendrata has spent 14 years building businesses in Indonesia’s digital economy, leading PT Telunjuk Komputasi Indonesia — the company behind Telunjuk.com and Compas.co.id, where Hanindia is CEO.

The work is e-commerce data and helping FMCG brands win the online market — reading what buyers actually do, which is where this session begins: is the market really there?

Hanindia runs a company the way a marathon is run, on endurance, strategic pacing and a relentless mindset, and believes innovation is born from the courage to evaluate one’s own “tactical errors”. Alongside the business, Hanindia mentors young talent.

Off the clock: a recreational marathoner chasing personal bests, a defensive midfielder in football, a newcomer to padel, and a parent of three active children — bringing the discipline of an athlete and the humility of a lifelong student into every room.

Session 03 · Go-to-Market & Growth

Ali Seto

Commercial drones and disruptive technology, Middle East · FEDS

Ali Seto has spent the last ten years building the commercial drone industry across the Middle East, from the ground up.

Ali joined FEDS in 2016 as its very first marketing hire, while the company was still a regional startup — then helped build the brand, scale its distribution business across the Middle East and Africa, and launch FEDS Drone Academy. As its Managing Director, Ali grew the academy into a tri-regulator approved training organisation recognised across the GCC.

That meant working every layer of the industry — hardware, operations, compliance and commercial strategy — alongside regulators, operators and enterprise clients in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and beyond.

For this session, Ali brings the playbook for taking something new to market in this region: building a brand people trust, scaling distribution, and turning emerging capability into real outcomes for clients.

Session 04 · Finance & Business Viability

Risqi Widayat

SME Business Group Head, PT Bank Syariah Indonesia Tbk

Risqi Widayat is SME Business Group Head at PT Bank Syariah Indonesia Tbk — a banker who has spent a career on the side of finance that decides which businesses get funded: managing commercial and retail financing, and running the linkage programmes that extend bank financing through partner institutions.

Risqi has also managed nucleus–plasma oil palm partnerships across Sumatra, Kalimantan and Sulawesi — arrangements that only work when every party, from the plantation company to the smallholder, can see how the numbers add up.

Target-driven, a natural team leader and strong at building relationships with customers and partners, Risqi brings the lender’s view to this session: what makes a business worth financing, and what makes a bank say no.

Session 04 · Finance & Business Viability

Tjahjono Soebroto

Senior Executive Officer, BSI Middle East — Dubai Branch

Tjahjono Soebroto is the Senior Executive Officer of PT Bank Syariah Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, Middle East — Dubai Branch, the bank’s presence in the UAE.

Before BSI, Tjahjono built a banking career at Bank Mandiri, Citi and Standard Chartered Bank Indonesia, across cash and trade business, risk management and business development.

Those are the disciplines that decide whether a business can fund its growth, move money across borders and survive its risks — and the questions a bank asks before it says yes. That is the view Tjahjono brings to this session.

Tjahjono is an alumnus of the Faculty of Economics at Universitas Gadjah Mada and holds an MBA from Monash University.

Session 05 · UAE Ecosystem & Global Markets

Dian F. Suzabar

Director of Business & Development, ALDIO LLC Dubai · Former Senior Executive Officer, BSI DIFC Branch

Dian F. Suzabar is the Director of Business & Development at ALDIO LLC in Dubai, and an executive leader with more than 21 years of international banking leadership across Southeast Asia and the Gulf Cooperation Council, specialising in market entry, international expansion, government and regulatory affairs, corporate governance and Islamic finance.

As Senior Executive Officer of PT Bank Syariah Indonesia’s Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Branch, Dian led the establishment of the first Indonesian banking presence in the Middle East — building relationships with regulators, governments, institutional partners and key stakeholders across the UAE — and played a leadership role in the bank’s strategic expansion into Saudi Arabia.

Earlier, as Group Head Corporate Secretary of Bank Syariah Mandiri, Dian advised the Boards of Directors and Commissioners on governance, corporate actions, shareholder relations, regulatory affairs and institutional strategy.

Dian brings that first-hand experience to this session: what it takes to enter the UAE, work with its regulators and partners, and use it as a base for expanding across the region.
