The Indian founders’ guide to building a successful business in Indonesia

Thanks Samridh. Interesting set of questions. My top-of-the-mind thought is that like India's East vs West or Chinese vs others pushback is different (be it people-led or regulator), Indonesia too would have a lack of uniformity in its biases. But, will try and explore these questions in a follow up story.
