Ferry Unardi’s Inspiring Story: From Airline Ticket Search Engine Dream to Indonesia’s Online Travel Giant

Ferry Unardi was born in Padang on January 16, 1988. After completing his secondary education, he continued his studies at Purdue University, USA, majoring in computer science and engineering. After graduating, Ferry worked as a software engineer at Microsoft in Seattle for 3 years.

Looking for New Challenges and Starting Traveloka

The desire to grow and seek new challenges pushed Ferry out of his comfort zone. He flew to China to seek inspiration and find business opportunities.

The experience of difficulty booking flight tickets while traveling from America to Indonesia sparked his idea to build a more modern, flexible, and practical flight ticket search engine.

With determination and conviction, Ferry continued his Master of Business education at Harvard University to equip himself with the knowledge and skills to build a startup.
