Hello readers,
I am an avid user of edtech products and appreciate the convenience they offer. Every week, I have online Mandarin and Bahasa Indonesia language lessons with tutors based in China and Indonesia. As a child, this was not something that I imagined would be possible!
Ruangguru was the first Indonesian edtech company I heard about. In a previous job, I learned how it leveraged television to build its brand and audience. The strategy might seem counterintuitive, but it appears to have worked for the company.
Indonesia’s education system is ripe for technological disruption. While many of us immediately think of the K12 market, edtech goes far beyond that.
But which areas will prove profitable? Many edtech players prefer to operate in the business-to-consumer K12 market because of its size and proximity to the end-user, but there may be opportunities in vocational training and the business-to-business space as well.
