Aldi Ferdian
Raden (Rd) Aldi Ferdian (born in Bandung December 11, 1979), is one of the young Indonesian entrepreneurs who has been quite successful in several businesses. Currently, Aldi Ferdian is CEO of Financial Technology Company Danaprospera.[1][2]
Pursuing A Dream
Praying and Surrender are the principles that Aldi never abandoned. For Aldi, being earnest in pursuing and realizing a dream is a part of prayer and it is manifested through intentions and concrete actions. Aldi's courage to pursue his dreams began when he was in elementary school. Since childhood, he was accustomed to earning his own pocket money by renting books to his classmates. At the age of 17, he worked as a bus driver[3] for elementary school students and as a waiter and delivery service at McDonald's Kings Plaza Bandung. He chose to work there because he wanted a pager.
Banking Career
"There is no process and hard work that deceives the results. There is no experience that negates the opportunity". That's how he felt when he entered a new world, which had made him doubt. Several times he was almost dismissed for not getting clients. But he should not give up. He is constantly looking for ways to find potential clients. He was very grateful for his career's rapid growth. But he felt the rhythm of work at the banking career was very stagnant. He wanted something more challenging, and so he decided to try other fields as an entrepreneur.
Building a Business
Over time, his company continued to grow. Aldi thought of changing his strategy by applying the banking system to his company. And now, Aldi and his partners have opened a funding business where employees or customers can get loans for their businesses. Since many projects had to be addressed more intensively, he decided to establish a holding company called Cakradhara Gorup to support all projects in terms of funding. With the new group, it is easier to consolidate them and expand their business into new sectors.
