Tentang Anak, which translates to “About Children,” provides child-focused services such as activities, growth trackers, free consultations, and nutritional menus. It also holds community engagement activities for Indonesian parents.
The firm features content from its network of pediatricians, psychologists, and child educators, which has helped it secure more than 500,000 social media followers.
Tentang Anak was founded in 2020 by pediatrician Mesty Ariotedjo and Tokopedia alum Garri Juanda. The company said that it is the first pediatrician-founded parenting firm.
The startup also recently onboarded two presidents of the Indonesian Pediatric Society to its board: Piprim Basarah Yanuarso, who currently holds the role, and Hardiono Pusponegoro, who was a former president of the association.
