Alamanda Shantika is the Founder and CEO of Binar Academy, a tech education company shaping Indonesia’s next generation of digital talent. Known as one of the key figures behind Gojek’s early success, she helped build the platform’s core systems before pivoting her focus toward a mission with a longer impact: empowering others through education.
At Binar, Alamanda bridges technology and social purpose, creating access to digital skills for young people across Indonesia. Her work goes beyond coding; it’s about nurturing confidence, curiosity, and a sense of agency in communities that technology often overlooks. “We’re not just teaching people how to work, we’re helping them discover who they are and what they can contribute,” she says.
Balancing her analytical background with empathy-driven leadership, Alamanda speaks often about resilience, humility, and the discipline of self-awareness. “You can’t lead others if you haven’t learned to lead yourself,” she reflects thoughtfully. To her, innovation is not about disruption for its own sake but about solving real problems with lasting value. In a fast-moving industry, she leads with grounded optimism, building not just a company, but a culture that believes in learning as a lifelong act of progress. Alamanda wears the Panthère de Cartier.
