🚨 What’s New

• 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.

• PDG Raises US$856M for Hyperscale Expansion in Bekasi

  Princeton Digital Group secured roughly US$856 million in financing to build out its 120MW JC3 hyperscale campus in Bekasi, one of the region’s largest green loans to date…

  🚨 What’s New

  • IDN Acquires M Bloc Group, Merges Digital and Physical Culture Media and entertainment tech company IDN has officially acquired M Bloc Group, Indonesia’s leading placemaking network for culture, creativity, and community. The acquired portfolio, including M Bloc Space, Pos Bloc Jakarta, Surabaya, and Medan, and Lokananta Bloc Solo, will operate under a unified platform called IDN Bloc while keeping each venue’s identity intact. The move gives IDN a physical canvas to connect brands and communities with Gen Z, integrating with assets like JKT48, Saweria, and Pestapora. For Indonesia’s creator economy, it signals a maturing thesis that digital media and physical cultural spaces are stronger together. Expect more ambitious content, events, and creator collaborations to flow from this combined ecosystem.

  • JALA Tech Backer Seeks US$30M for Aquatech Roll-Up A backer of Indonesian shrimp-farming startup JALA Tech is raising around US$30 million to build a new aquatech roll-up platform consolidating smaller independent tech firms with strong local networks. The strategy targets fragmented aquaculture technology players, aiming to scale distribution and data across one of the world’s largest shrimp-producing nations. JALA itself has monitored shrimp across more than 35,000 water bodies for roughly 20,000 users, showing the depth of demand for digitized cultivation. A consolidation play makes sense in a sector where scale and traceability unlock global market access. For Indonesia’s blue economy, this points to a more mature, investable aquatech landscape ahead.

  • MSCI Removes Six Indonesian Stocks, IDX Stays Optimistic MSCI’s May 2026 review removed six Indonesian names from its Global Standard Index, including Amman Mineral, Barito Renewables, and Chandra Asri, with the changes effective after May 29. The reshuffle is a short-term consequence of transparency and free-float reforms pushed by IDX and OJK, including the new High Shareholding Concentration framework. IDX interim CEO Jeffrey Hendrik framed it as near-term pain for long-term gain, expressing optimism about the structural payoff. Cleaner ownership disclosure and deeper free float are exactly what international investors have asked of Indonesia for years. The reforms position the market for healthier, more durable foreign participation once the dust settles.

  • Pacific Universal Becomes New Controller of MAPI Singapore-based Pacific Universal Investments, affiliated with private equity giant CVC Capital Partners, has acquired a 51% controlling stake in retail powerhouse Mitra Adiperkasa (MAPI) for Rp11.81 trillion. A mandatory tender offer to public shareholders has been set at Rp1,550 per share, a premium of around 22% over MAPI’s 90-day average trading price. The acquirer’s stated goal is to grow the MAPI group across Indonesia and the wider Southeast Asia region. Global institutional capital backing one of Indonesia’s largest lifestyle retailers is a strong vote of confidence in domestic consumption. For the retail sector, it signals that Indonesia’s consumer story remains a magnet for serious long-term investors.

  • INA Posts 37% Profit Surge, Names Banking Veteran as CEO Indonesia Investment Authority (INA) reported a 37.3% jump in 2025 net profit to Rp7.45 trillion, with revenue up 43% to Rp8.45 trillion and assets under management reaching Rp146.2 trillion. The sovereign fund deployed capital across infrastructure, green energy, digital infrastructure, and advanced materials, while catalyzing significant foreign direct investment. In parallel, INA named investment banker Oki Ramadhana, ex-Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Mandiri Sekuritas, as CEO, with Laksono Widodo as CIO and Adhiputra Tanoyo as CRO. The combination of strong returns and a deep-bench leadership team strengthens INA’s credibility with global co-investors. For Indonesia’s capital-formation engine, this is momentum that compounds.
