As part of its effort to expand public literacy on fintech in Indonesia, MEKAR’s Founder & CEO, Pandu Aditya Kristy, appeared as a speaker on the Tech A Look program on CNBC Indonesia.
During the session, Pandu discussed how financial technology (fintech) can serve as a real solution to expand access to productive financing, particularly for MSMEs and women entrepreneurs across Indonesia.
Fintech as an Enabler of Financial Inclusion
Pandu highlighted that many micro-business owners still face limitations in accessing formal financial services. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity for the fintech industry to act as a bridge for financial inclusion.
“What is needed today is an integrated financial ecosystem, not standalone solutions. When financing is combined with market access and operational support, the impact becomes significantly greater. That is where MEKAR plays a relevant role in driving sustainable growth,” said Pandu.
Through a technology- and data-driven approach, MEKAR continues to provide faster, more accessible, and affordable financing services. Its primary focus is empowering women as key drivers of household economies while strengthening MSMEs as the backbone of the national economy.
MEKAR’s Commitment to Supporting the Productive Economy
As a fintech lending platform, MEKAR continuously develops a financing ecosystem that goes beyond providing capital access. It also supports sustainable business growth.
Participation in media programs like this reflects MEKAR’s commitment to:
Increasing public awareness of productive financing
Educating the public about responsible fintech practices
Encouraging collaboration among industry players, regulators, and society
Through its participation in Tech A Look, Pandu reaffirmed MEKAR’s commitment to delivering inclusive, sustainable, and impactful financing solutions.
MEKAR believes that the future of fintech is not only determined by technology, but also by its ability to build ecosystems that empower businesses holistically.
Moving forward, MEKAR will continue to expand collaborations and innovations to ensure more MSMEs and women in Indonesia gain access to better economic opportunities, while driving more equitable and sustainable economic growth.
