Blogging Again

I am sure nobody misses my blogging but the creator of this website. The truth is: I forgot my login password to our blog entry system. Lame excuse, eh?

I don’t work for Vopak Asia in Jakarta. Starting April 2009, I have been taking care of two start-up companies under Ancora Group, which is a new breed of Indonesian organization established by Indonesian entrepreneur Gita Wirjawan.

The first baby of the two is Ancora Sports. Its goal is to develop Indonesian Golf Champions both amateur and professionals, by providing the necessary platforms of training, local tournaments, International events and player management. Under the same umbrella, we run Ancora Golf Institute in Jakarta and Bali where talented golfers receive proper training by our PGA Teaching Pros from New Zealand and Australia. We have a dormitory where our Asian Tour (see: Indonesia President Invitational).

The second baby of mine is Omega Pacific, a music production and distribution company which was set up to serve as a platform for musical talents in Indonesia and the Southeast Asian Region so that they can network with each other as to enrich their creative capacities. If you went to Dwiki Dharmawan’s World Peace Orchestra concert in Jakarta recently, you would have seen Omega Pacific logo appear as the producer of the music recording itself. Come to think of it, we also produced Nial Djuliarso’s music.

All of the above businesses were founded by Gita himself and all I am doing now is to ensure the babies are nurtured and growing according to Ancora’s mission.

Among other things, Gita has also established Ancora Foundation, offering scholarships to Harvard, NTU and Paramadina as well as creating kindergartens all over Indonesia. If you’d like help other Indonesians (or obtain a scholarship to an Ivy League), please feel free to visit the website.

Finally, I have had the courage to ask my wonderful wife for the password to the world of indrani.net just to share with you what I have been doing lately.
