Global media intelligence firm, CARMA, has officially announced its launch in Indonesia, marking yet another milestone in its continuous expansion efforts throughout Asia. This strategic move is buoyed by the appointment of Amira Kanifah, a seasoned expert with over a decade’s experience in market research, who will lead business development in Jakarta.
Kanifah, whose extensive experience includes tenures at renowned companies such as Nielsen and Kantar, is anticipated to leverage her professional prowess to extend CARMA’s reputation as a trusted leader in software and research solutions.
CARMA Group CEO, Mazen Nahawi, lauded the company’s impressive growth trajectory in Asia, labeling it a key market on a global scale. “Our expansion into Indonesia signifies a deepening of CARMA’s commitment to the region,” he stated.
Andrew Nicholls, CARMA’s Asia managing director, underscored Indonesia’s significance both to existing clients and as a promising growth opportunity. He pointed to the nation’s vibrant media and PR industry as an indicator of its potential.
The expansion news coincides with Indonesia’s concerted efforts to attract global talent and investors, underscored by a proposed golden visa programme. This initiative, as reported by The Jakarta Post, aims to provide a longer stay permit for international talent and investors.
The golden visa programme announcement followed a cabinet meeting involving President Joko Widodo and Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno. Uno optimistically declared that the programme could significantly enhance Indonesia’s ability to draw in foreign talent and investments, potentially creating more local job opportunities.
Primarily, the golden visa programme will target talent in digitalisation, health, research, and technology. Uno expressed hopes that this initiative would lure more entrepreneurs and foreigners into the country, further stimulating growth and development.
