Smart Farming and Agricultural Revolution: Collaboration of Akar and Indotech

AKAR Farm, a startup company in the agri-tech sector, continues to be committed to promoting the quality of agriculture in Indonesia through collaboration with Indotech and the joining of Oscar Darmawan.

“The joining of Oscar Darmawan brings new enthusiasm and extraordinary experience as a practitioner in the technology sector and a professional businessman in Indonesia. “He has a successful history of improving company performance at Indodax and is listed on the 40 Under 40 list, according to Fortune Indonesia,” said AKAR.

This startup, headquartered in Jakarta, provides sustainable and innovative food solutions for urban areas and challenging environments, using soil-free and pesticide-free (organic) technology.

AKAR aims to transform conventional agriculture into more modern indoor agriculture. On one occasion, COO of AKAR, Hutomo Danu, stated, “We offer solutions for millennials and Gen Z who want to farm easily, considering that only 20% of them are interested in farming on land.”

We expect to produce high-quality agricultural products, including vegetables, spices, and fruits, by reducing the use of pesticides. This is possible through the optimal utilization of 1.8 square meters of land, which not only improves the quality of agricultural products but also supports sustainability and environmental health.

AKAR and Indotech hope that through the use of technology in agriculture, this collaboration can create sustainable solutions, increase productivity, and support food security. With this, it can realize a better and greener future for future generations.

Ayobantu routinely holds special programs every Ramadan. This year, during Ramadan, Indodax and Bank CIMB Niaga collaborated with Ayobantu to distribute social assistance through the “2024 Ramadan Blessings” program.

At the Al Quran Hidayatul Furqon Islamic Boarding School in Warnasari Village, East Cilebut, Sukaraja District, Bogor Regency, on March 20, 2024, Firza Daud, Ayobantu’s Chief Growth Officer (CGO), said that help from the two Caring Brands was given out.

In addition to distributing free iftar and suhoor packages for orphans, the poor, and the underprivileged, Ayobantu also carries the theme “Small Steps of Kindness for Maximum Ramadan Blessings with Ayobantu” in this year’s program.

In the collaboration, Ayobantu will distribute hundreds of packages for breaking the fast and suhoor, basic food packages for Islamic boarding schools, and hundreds of “Happy Ramadan” packages for underprivileged communities.

Oscar Darmawan, CEO of Indodax, who was also present, hopes that this assistance can ease the burden on the community and provide a sustainable positive impact. Firza also appreciated the ongoing collaboration with Indodax as a Caring Brand, as well as Bank CIMB Niaga in the Ramadan Blessing campaign initiated by Ayobantu.

Since two years ago, Ayobantu has consistently implemented four main Ramadan programs and has succeeded in distributing various aid packages to 2,383 beneficiaries. These programs include Sharing Iftar for Orphans & Dhuafa, Eid Gifts for Underprivileged Families, Alms for Places of Worship in Remote Areas of Indonesia, and Ramadan Gifts for Healing the Dhuafa.

This year’s Ramadhan, Ayobantu is again running three main programs, which started on February 1 and will run until April 10, 2024. As a donation platform in Indonesia, Ayobantu remains committed to expanding its assistance to those in need in the future.

Launching NFT THE OD CLUB, CEO of INDODAX Reveals The Benefits

CEO of INDODAX, Oscar Darmawan, introduced NFT 2.0 based on utilities connected to real-world assets, namely The OD Club. This NFT also allows token owners to participate in the real business world thanks to its utility.

Moreover, in recent years, the NFT sector has continued to grow. According to Grand View Research, NFTs are projected to grow by 34.2% from 2023 to 2030. An NFT itself is a blockchain-based digital asset that represents digital or physical goods and cannot be exchanged because of its unique value.

Unlike other NFTs that restrict ownership to a collection or gaming asset, NFT The OD Club provides a buyback guarantee after six months. That way it can provide a sense of security for its owners.

With an investment of only IDR 2 million, the public can obtain NFT The OD Club and become an investor in Oscar Darmawan’s physical commodity project with a profit of 12 percent per year. Every month, on the 10th, token owners will receive their profit sharing.

The OD Club is one of the limited-edition NFTs with only 1,000. This makes it one of the exclusive digital assets that can only be available through the Nusa NFT Marketplace website at https://nft.nusa.finance/.

The launch of NFT The OD Club is also a form of INDODAX’s commitment to advancing the blockchain and NFT ecosystem in Indonesia. The OD Club aims to provide investment opportunities for the wider community in the development of digital assets.

13 Bom di Jakarta Inspired by The True Story of the Founder and Co-Founder of Indodax

The latest movie, 13 Bombs in Jakarta, directed by Angga Dwimas Sasongko, adapts a true story for the big screen. Indotech affiliate Indodax produces the box office movie, which narrates the story of the bombings in Jakarta. The story draws inspiration from the true events that involved Oscar Darmawan and William Sutanto, the founder and co-founder of Indodax.

The plot of 13 Bombs in Jakarta begins with the threat of a terrorist named Arok, who plans to launch attacks at several strategic points in Jakarta. Discovering intruders heightens the tension. Oscar and William, the founders of the Indonesian crypto exchange, find themselves unexpectedly trapped in the situation. The only way to stop this terrorist attack is to meet Arok’s demands, which include a ransom in Bitcoin.

The film, featuring an action-espionage genre, includes intense shooting scenes and car chases, all produced on a large scale. It provides a realistic impression through the use of real weapons, blank bullets, and actual car explosions carried out on location. 13 Bombs in Jakarta is one of the Indonesian action films that has become a box office hit, attracting more than one million viewers.

The bombing of a shopping center in Tangerang in 2015, in which the perpetrators demanded a Bitcoin ransom, inspired this story. Inspector General of Police Rachmad Wibowo, who, in 2015, headed the IT/Cyber Crime Sub-Directorate at the Directorate of Special Economic Crimes of the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency, confirmed this. Together with his team, he investigated the bomb threat and collaborated with Oscar Darmawan, CEO of Indodax.

Angga Dwimas Sasongko was interested in bringing this story to the big screen because the background of extortion and terrorism provided a complex and compelling dimension to explore in the movie. According to Oscar Darmawan, this film also reflects Indodax’s commitment to educating the broader community about crypto assets.

The 13 Bombs in Jakarta are now available in cinemas throughout Indonesia as of December 28, 2023.

CSR from Indodax & Ayobantu for Underprivileged Communities

Through the CSR program called “INDODAX for Indonesia: A Mission of Inclusive Health Service”, INDODAX continues its consistency in carrying out corporate social responsibility together with Ayobantu. This time, INDODAX focuses on two agendas,  general blood donation and general health services for underprivileged communities.

The lack of stock of blood bags at the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) is one of the reasons for holding this activity. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the total need for blood bags in each country is ideally 2% of the total population.

With Indonesia’s population of 277.75 million people in 2022, the number of blood bags needed by Indonesia is estimated to be 5.56 million per year. Meanwhile, based on data from the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI), the blood stock held by blood donor units (UDD) throughout Indonesia was only 77,438 bags as of June 14 2023.

“This means that this number is still far below the estimated need for ideal blood bags according to WHO standards. “Therefore, as a Brand that cares for people, INDODAX held a blood donation event to help PMI obtain more donors,” said INDODAX CEO, Oscar Darmawan.

Oscar also said that every drop of donated blood is a valuable gift for people who receives it.

Thus, INDODAX together with the online donation platform Ayobantu held this event on November 15 2023 at the sports complex, The Saintuary Sports Hub, Central Jakarta. The blood collected will be managed by the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) in Bekasi City to be given to those in need.

Moreover, the CSR program “INDODAX for Indonesia: A Mission of Inclusive Health Service” also gives general health checks for underprivileged communities which was carried out together with Ayobantu on 23 November 2023 in Kampung Nelayan, Cilincing-North Jakarta.

This program aimed at broader mass, health checks are not limited to certain ages. Through this activity, underprivileged communities can have health checks, such as medical check-ups, treatment, and health referrals.

Apart from getting free general health check-up services, participants will also get free food and medicines to maintain their health.

“We are very grateful to INDODAX which always work in synergy with Ayobantu. We will carry out this mandate to the right targets. “In the future, we hope that this CSR program will become widespread so it could cover more people in need,” concluded Ayobantu CEO, Agnes Yuliavitriani.

With Nusa, INDODAX utilize voting system by NFT technology

Collaborating with Nusa, INDODAX, one of the leading crypto trading platforms in Indonesia announced the launch of the INDODAX Short Film Festival 2023 (ISFF) with an innovative touch of NFT technology.

To integrate blockchain technology in everyday life, ISFF will utilize NFT (Non-Fungible Token) for the winner calculation/voting process. INDODAX CEO Oscar Darmawan explained that blockchain technology has much bigger potential and not only for the financial industry.

“We want to prove that blockchain technology can be used as a basis for calculating winners. We will give 100 NFT coupons for free for participants to vote at ISFF,” said Oscar.

“By using NFT, it can be ensured that the distribution of voting rights is distributed evenly and fairly. Then we can also monitor whether the voting rights are actually being used personally or through other people. NFT also allows organizers to view the transaction history of each NFT,” said Oscar. Apart from that, Oscar also explained that the use of NFT technology can reduce and even prevent the potential for fraud.

“The NFT system only allows one vote per NFT, eliminating the possibility of forgery or double counting. Because of this, NFTs can help prevent and reduce the potential for fraud,” continued Oscar.

Wildan Ramadhan, CEO of Nusa, said that NFT technology innovations can be developed for various needs in everyday life. “Not only do they represent unique digital art, NFTs can also be used in other sectors that require authentic, transparent and trustworthy digital representation, such as a representation of votes in the voting process,” said Wildan
