Testimony

Madonk Siregar
MSMEs Owner
"I initially attended the export class webinar just to learn the basics. The explanations were clear and easy to understand. Once I got into the offline masterclass, I gained a deeper understanding of technical steps like determining HS Codes, market research, and export simulations. This program truly helped me, from feeling lost to gaining direction, and I also learned that AI can create export documents."
Hardini Indarti
Pawon Rhaosdhito Owner
"I own a small MSME and previously thought exporting was complicated. But after attending the webinar, I understood the process. The offline masterclass was even more eye-opening, with its many real-life case studies and helpful mentors. Now, my products are in the quality control stage for potential overseas buyers. This class was well worth it!"
I Putu Kresna Dwipayana
University Student Udayana
"Previously, I felt my business wasn't ready for export. But after going through these two classes, my mindset changed 180 degrees. It turns out that export isn't about the size of the business, but rather about readiness and strategy. This program gave me a clear roadmap for scaling up."
