NAVIGATING the crossovers between old- and new-economy businesses in Indonesia can be tricky, but Pandu Sjahrir manages it nimbly. He is not only the managing partner at investment firm Indies Capital Partners, but also a founding partner at venture capital firm, AC Ventures.
He also holds a number of board positions, notably on the Indonesia Stock Exchange; he is also on Gojek’s board and is chairman of Sea’s Indonesian entity. His old-economy credentials include bringing his family’s coal company TBS Energi Utama public on the Indonesian stock exchange.
In this edition of 5 Questions, Sjahrir tells The Business Times how he got here and his “no asshole” rule.
