Even if you are not attending DealStreetAsia’s upcoming Indonesia PE-VC Summit, you can still get a ringside view to one of the most exciting developments in the country’s tech economy – the digitalisation of warungs or mom and pop stores. 

On March 8, 2022, DealStreetAsia invites you to a free-to-attend session called ‘Introducing the Warung Tech Index: A data-driven view on the digital journey of traditional trade in Indonesia’. 

Attending guarantees your spot as being among the first to hear the topline findings of the Warung Tech Index, a bespoke research project created by DealStreetAsia in partnership with Mitra Bukalapak. 

Digitalising the approximately 3.5 million warungs in Indonesia is a mammoth enterprise, and has drawn millions of dollars in private capital investments over the last couple of years. The index aims to capture the impact of this transformation, as well as gauge the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. 

Discussing these issues will be experts uniquely placed to weigh in on the subject: Howard Gani, CEO of Buka Mitra Indonesia – one of the pioneers of warung digitalisation in Indonesia, and Khailee Ng, Global Managing Partner at 500 Global who has actively invested in the space. 

Aspects that will be covered will include the current ecosystem that warungs operate in, the private investments powering the transformation so far; some of the notable results; as well as if the models developed for Indonesia can be exported to similar countries in the region and the world at large, grappling with the same issues. 

Sign up now to attend ‘Introducing the Warung Tech Index: A data-driven view on the digital journey of traditional trade in Indonesia’. The session is sponsored by Mitra Bukalapak.
