After Indonesia-based DailySocial.id laid off all of its staff as part of a major restructuring, the company has since transferred its operations to a new entity, DiscoveryShift, led by Rama Mamuaya – the startup-focused news platform’s founder and CEO.

DiscoveryShift said in a statement that its offerings range from strategy development to operational implementation. It also offers corporate venture capital services, helping companies establish their own venture-building units and identify opportunities for investment.

The firm aims to do so by using AI. This will involve optimizing the business processes of its clients with AI, and building AI talent within their organizations.

The company said that it is supporting “top-tier clients” and has experts in enterprise AI, machine learning, automation, and digital transformation on its team.

According to DiscoveryShift’s website, it has 112 clients consisting of local and multinational corporations, startups, and SMEs. While based in Indonesia, the company also has an office in Singapore.

“Through DiscoveryShift, we are enhancing our ability to empower businesses to realize their full potential through AI and digital innovation,” said Mamuaya.

Before its major layoffs earlier this month, DailySocial.id had job cuts in August 2023, affecting 18 employees. This was months after the company launched DS/X Ventures, an investment division dedicated to early-stage enterprises.
