Entrepreneurship from the Village to the World

Growing up in Pasirbuyut Village, Jawilan District, I experienced firsthand how talent and passion often go unnoticed due to limited access and opportunities. I saw many youth with great potential held back by economic hardship and a lack of exposure to technology and education. It was clear: talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.

I came to believe that barriers should not limit our hope—they should inspire us to act. After building a career in technology and cybersecurity, I chose to return—not just to start a business, but to build bridges of opportunity for the next generation.

With that vision, I founded Graha Kreatif—a village-based innovation hub where young people gain practical skills, develop confidence, and ignite purpose. It's more than training—it's about awakening change agents who will shape their communities and beyond.

Insight

In the village, we pioneer change and prepare a generation that drives the future. Not just seeking jobs, but creating opportunities.

Igniting the Village Entrepreneurship Ecosystem

Since 2019, through Graha Kreatif, my team and I have mentored village youth in skills training, MSME digitalization, and micro-business development. We believe that when young people are given space and trust, they don't just rise—they create jobs, deliver solutions, and make an impact not only for the village, but for Indonesia.

Roles & Leadership

• 🎯 CEO of PT Lua Kreatif Teknologi and Data Protekta – software house & digital security.
• 🌱 Founder of Graha Kreatif – rural youth entrepreneurship incubator.
• 🤝 Chairman of Senyum Desa Nusantara Cooperative – rural MSME funding solutions.
• 📊 PhD Student in Defense Technology – building digital excellence for national security and sovereignty.

Vision: The Village as a Center for Social Innovation

I envision the village not just as a place for harvest, but as a birthplace for digital solutions. Not only as a labor source, but as home to local founders, innovators, and future leaders.

Villages have extraordinary potential—if given the right space, access, and ecosystem, they can grow into centers of social innovation with wide-reaching impact. This is the future I believe in. And this is what we are building day by day through technology and collaboration.

About Graha Kreatif

Graha Kreatif is not just a training center—it's a launchpad for change. Designed as a future lab in the heart of the village, it provides a nurturing space where young people are empowered to turn ideas into action through innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology.

Beyond training, Graha Kreatif invests in potential by offering scholarships for village youth—supporting access to both local and international education. We believe that education unlocks opportunity and shapes a new generation of rural leaders who think globally and act locally.

Insight

“We don’t just share knowledge—we spark independent, creative, and courageous mindsets. Village youth are not merely witnesses to change—they are its creators.”

Graha Kreatif has guided dozens of village youth in:

• 💻 Digital training: design, programming, and online marketing
• 📦 Local product and MSME development
• 💬 Business mentoring: from idea to real action
• 🛠️ Soft skills: leadership, communication, growth mindset

We believe that when village youth have access and direction, they can not only compete—they can lead.
