IPO or Initial Public Offering has been used a lot by many big companies. Selling their stocks to the public is helping them getting the attention from the public. Indirectly, IPO also promotes the companies through the constant media coverage. Recently, Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) has appointed Traveloka as the first unicorn startup company in the country for IPO.

Starting as a problem solver, now Traveloka is the biggest startup in Indonesia

Traveloka is a company offering online booking service. It was launched in 2012 by its’ founder, Ferry Unardi. It is now the biggest booking agency in Indonesia, claiming more than 80% of flight booking market.

With a huge amount of investment from Expedia that counted to more than $1 billion, Traveloka expanded to the Southeast Asian market. It is now available in Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam and Singapore.

Ferry Unardi, only 23 at the time, faced difficulties in booking airplane ticket from America to his hometown in Padang, Indonesia. The Harvard bachelor then started Traveloka as airplane ticket booking platform. He teamed up with Derianto Kusuma who had the experiences of working at the Silicon Valley.
