Hi, I'm Panji..

I’m an entrepreneur with over 10 years of experience in developing businesses (failed in some). I mentor and consult early-stage startups and SMEs for university and government programs. I like to chat and explore ideas with others on my podcast.

Awards & Fellowships

International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP)

I was honored to be selected for the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) by the U.S. Department of State. Under the theme "Enhancing Citizen Complaint Systems and Improving Oversight of Public Services," the program gave me the opportunity to learn from U.S. best pratices about strengthening transparency and accountability in public service.

Technology Intermediary Training Scholarship

Through a joint scholarship from Indonesia’s Ministry of Research and Technology (RISTEK) and Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), I studied Innovation Management at VDI/VDE-IT in Berlin. The experience deepened my understanding of how technology intermediaries can bridge research and market needs effectively.

Australia Short-Term Awards

I was awarded an Australia Awards Scholarship to join a specialized short course in International Business for Technology-Enabled Startups at Queensland University of Technology. The course brought together founders, innovators, and policy thinkers to learn and exchange strategies on scaling impact-driven startups.

Australia Alumni Grants

Supported by the Australia Alumni Grants, I initiated and led a digital literacy program for people with disabilities. Over six months, more than 50 learners joined the in-person sessions, and 200+ participated online—learning coding and design skills that empowered them to explore new career opportunities.
