Embracing the spirit of Kartini Day, PT Telkom Indonesia (Telkom) is reinforcing its commitment to women’s empowerment through digital technology. As part of its recent Kartini BISA Fest, the company officially launched Sobat Indibiz (SOBIZ), an economic initiative designed to unlock new digital opportunities for communities, homemakers, and female entrepreneurs across Indonesia.
The SOBIZ program serves as a strategic pathway for women to generate additional income by becoming marketing agents for Indibiz digital services. By providing this platform, Telkom aims to help women become more productive, independent, and influential in the rapidly evolving digital economy.
Indibiz by Telkom Solution is a comprehensive digital ecosystem tailored to support medium-sized businesses. It offers a suite of services ranging from connectivity and digital marketing to operational tools, all designed to help businesses operate more efficiently and remain competitive in the modern marketplace.
Reni Yustiani, OVP Enterprise Marketing Regional Management at Telkom, emphasized that SOBIZ is a tangible way for the company to deliver digital solutions that provide direct, meaningful benefits to the community. “Women possess immense potential to drive national economic growth, particularly by leveraging digital business opportunities,” she stated.
This initiative is backed by compelling data; according to 2024 statistics from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), approximately 64.5%—or roughly 37 million—of Indonesia’s MSMEs are currently run by women. Recognizing this significant contribution, Telkom is dedicated to providing programs that strengthen the capacity and competitiveness of female entrepreneurs in every region.
Through the SOBIZ program, female entrepreneurs can join as official agents, gaining access to attractive incentives and networking opportunities within the broader Telkom digital ecosystem. Interested participants can easily register through the official website at sobiz.indibiz.co.id.
The program has already received a warm welcome from the business community. Lina, a local entrepreneur who attended the launch event, highlighted the value of joining SOBIZ. She noted that the program provides essential guidance, training, and empowerment for women-led SMEs. Drawing inspiration from legendary investor Warren Buffett, Lina added, “Never rely on a single source of income,” underscoring the importance of the new financial opportunities SOBIZ creates.
For Telkom, technology is more than just a tool for connectivity; it is a catalyst for growth and empowerment. By facilitating and supporting women—many of whom balance entrepreneurship with their roles as homemakers—Indibiz by Telkom Solution is helping to build a more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable national economy.
