Ajaib Group plans to put most of a Rp4.8 trillion investment from Japan’s SBI Holdings into Indonesia, with people and products at the center of its expansion.

For this Rp4.8 trillion investment, we want to recruit and grow our talent, especially in technology, engineering, product, business and operations.

— Anderson SumarliAjaib’s co-founder and CEO explained how the investment will strengthen its workforce.

Co-founder and CEO Anderson Sumarli said the funds would support recruitment and staff development in engineering, product development, business and operations. Ajaib also wants to broaden the investment products available to Indonesian customers, including options linked to overseas markets and digital assets.

Anderson said easier cross-border access has become more relevant as younger Indonesians adopt a more global outlook. The company hopes to offer wider access to capital markets and financial instruments in other countries while continuing to develop Indonesia’s own market.

We very much hope to also develop Indonesia’s capital market, with options for access to capital markets and financial instruments in other countries.

— Anderson SumarliHe described the company’s plans for domestic and cross-border investment products.

Around 90% of the investment will remain in Indonesia, according to Ajaib Group President Commissioner Andi Gani Nena Wea. He said the money would support financial education, product development and domestic talent. Most of Ajaib’s workforce consists of Indonesians, which he presented as evidence of the country’s potential in financial services.

Ninety percent of the incoming funds will be used in Indonesia, to advance financial education, develop products and develop existing talent.

— Andi Gani Nena WeaAjaib’s president commissioner outlined the domestic focus of the investment.

The investment comes as Indonesia’s capital-market investor base expands. By Aug. 7, 2026, the number of investors had reached 30.30 million, about 49% higher than at the end of 2025. Stock investors surpassed 10 million, with retail investors accounting for 99.8% and domestic investors for 99.84%. More than half of individual stock investors were under 30. Andi Gani said Ajaib users now come not only from major cities but also from second- and third-tier cities.

This is a step forward.
