Ajaib Revenue Jumps 152% as Indonesia’s Retail Trading Boom Lifts Off Ajaib closed 2025 with revenue up 152% YoY, while net profit rose 38% to roughly US$1.4 million on the back of Indonesia’s surging retail trading activity. The growth echoes a broader sector lift, with rival Stockbit reporting 395% revenue growth and 544% net profit growth over the same period. These numbers reflect a deepening retail investor base, fueled by stronger IDX activity, faster digital onboarding, and a maturing fintech regulatory framework. Ajaib’s user base has grown past 3 million investors, anchoring its position as Indonesia’s first fully online stock brokerage and one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing fintech unicorns. For Indonesia’s capital markets, the signal is clear: retail participation is becoming a structural growth engine rather than a cyclical wave.

TipTip Hits Profitability as AI Rewrites Unit Economics
TipTip just became one of the few homegrown entertainment platforms to hit company-wide EBITDA profitability, proving that disciplined AI deployment can flip unit economics fast. The East Ventures-backed company posted 56% QoQ gross revenue growth in entertainment ticketing in Q1 2026, with net revenue jumping 283% from the previous quarter. Contribution margins improved 50% after its AI engine went live, and over half of transactions now come from self-onboarded promoters. Building on this momentum, TipTip is expanding into curated travel experiences via SatuSatu, starting with a Bali All-Access Pass. For Indonesia’s local creator and experience economy, it’s a strong signal that AI-led automation can finally make small-ticket commerce work at scale.

Grab Beats Estimates with Record Q1 Profitability
Grab posted a record Q1 2026, with revenue up 24% YoY to US$955 million and adjusted EBITDA jumping 46% to US$154 million, topping analyst estimates. On-Demand GMV grew 24% to US$6.1 billion, with Deliveries up 23%, Mobility up 19%, and Financial Services surging 43%. Profit reached US$120 million versus just US$10 million a year ago, even with seasonal softness from Lunar New Year and Ramadan. Management is sticking with full-year guidance of US$4.04 to 4.10 billion in revenue and US$700 to 720 million in adjusted EBITDA. For Indonesia, where Grab and GoTo dominate the daily commute, the signal is that ride-hailing demand is structurally resilient through macro pressure.

Three KoinWorks Executives Detained Over Rp600B BRI Loan Case
Three KoinWorks executives, including current CEO Jonathan Bryan and co-founder Benedicto Haryono, have been detained by Jakarta prosecutors over an alleged Rp600 billion corruption case tied to BRI loan disbursements. Investigators say the trio funneled bank funding to clients using manipulated invoice collateral and skipped mandatory insurance coverage. Detention runs 20 days at Cipinang and Salemba while prosecutors trace asset flows and possible bank-side involvement. While painful for affected lenders, the case is a clearer enforcement signal for Indonesia’s P2P lending sector, where OJK is already tightening oversight of KoinP2P. Cleaner rails and stronger underwriting discipline are exactly what the next chapter of Indonesian fintech needs.

Indonesia’s Retail Investing Boom Keeps Delivering — Even in Rough Markets. Retail investing in Indonesia is delivering real numbers, not just hype. Stockbit Sekuritas closed 2025 with revenue up 395% and net profit surging 544% year-on-year, a result that reflects something structural: millions of first-time investors are now actively building wealth through apps, not through traditional brokers. Global volatility may cloud the near-term outlook, but the underlying trend remains firmly on track and for a market this early in its digital investing journey, the compounding runway ahead is still enormous.

Fore Coffee Proves the Premium Coffee Thesis Is Very Much Alive Despite Ramadan seasonality and a choppy macro backdrop, Fore Coffee opened 2026 with a strong performance that should silence any doubts about Indonesia’s appetite for premium F&B. Revenue climbed 52.4% year-on-year to IDR 444.5 billion ($26 million), net profit grew 60.4% to IDR 9.43 billion, and EBITDA margin expanded to 18.3% from 16.7% a year earlier. The company added more than 20 new outlets in the quarter, with over 40% in tier-2 and tier-3 cities — exactly where Indonesia’s next wave of consumer spending growth is coming from. At 338 outlets and accelerating, Fore is becoming one of the clearest proof points that disciplined, tech-integrated F&B brands can scale profitably in this market.

one% Nutrition Is Betting on Indonesia’s Protein Gap — and It’s the Right Call The wellness economy is quietly becoming one of Indonesia’s most exciting consumer segments, and one% Nutrition is positioning itself at the center of it. The startup, backed by Init-6 (founded by Bukalapak alumni Achmad Zaky and Nugroho Herucahyono), pioneered protein water in Indonesia, a zero-sugar, lactose-free format delivering 16g of protein per bottle. The Southeast Asia protein supplements market is projected to reach USD 1.1–1.2 billion by 2030, with Indonesia expected to drive a large share of this growth, even as the market remains early in its journey. With rising health consciousness, a fitness-first Gen Z demographic, and a massive protein-intake gap relative to developed markets, the opportunity here is enormous and still wide open for a local brand to own.

Bank Jago Keeps Proving That Digital Banking in Indonesia Is a Long-Term Compounder Indonesia’s digital banking story continued to strengthen in Q1 2026, with Bank Jago (ARTO) delivering broad-based growth across every key metric. Net profit after tax surged 42% year-on-year to IDR 86 billion, loans grew 24% to IDR 25.2 trillion, and total assets rose 22% to IDR 39.5 trillion, while the NPL gross ratio remained impressively low at 0.8%. The bank now serves 19.4 million customers, up more than 3 million in a year with 15.2 million actively using the Jago app. That kind of customer engagement, combined with a 29.9% capital adequacy ratio, signals a bank with both the runway and the balance sheet strength to keep compounding as Indonesia’s digital economy expands.
