Founded in September 2021, Lumina helps small and medium-sized enterprises recruit blue-collar workers. It streamlines the interview process and provides a forum for its users to interact with other job seekers.
The company is founded by Aswin Andrison and Tri Ahmad Irfan, who both formerly worked for Indonesian food logistics startup Stoqo as its CEO and engineering manager, respectively. Alpha JWC Ventures was also one of the investors in their previous startup, which had shut down in 2020.
