Austin, Texas—In a recent episode of the Driven by DCKAP podcast, Muliadi Jeo, a technology entrepreneur and Chief Technology Officer of SIRCLO, shared his insights with host Karthik Chidambaram on the evolution and future of e-commerce, particularly in Indonesia and the broader Southeast Asian market, including Vietnam and the Philippines.
A Journey of Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Muliadi Jeo’s entrepreneurial journey from co-founding iCube to becoming the CTO of Sirclo after a strategic merger, is a story of adaptability and long-term vision in the fast-paced tech industry. He shares how he transitioned from his early venture of selling Japanese gadgets in the U.S. to now leading a major omnichannel e-commerce enabler in Indonesia.
The Rise of Omnichannel Retail in Indonesia
Under Muliadi Jeo’s leadership, SIRCLO has emerged as a key player in the Indonesian e-commerce landscape, championing the omnichannel approach. Jeo explained how SIRCLO facilitates brands in leveraging both online and offline channels to provide seamless customer experiences. His insights into Indonesia’s market dynamics—characterized by a young, tech-savvy population and challenging geography for shipping—shed light on the innovative strategies companies must adopt to succeed.
Embracing Collaboration in a Competitive Environment
A significant highlight of the podcast was Jeo’s philosophy on collaboration, even among competitors. By organizing events that bring together various stakeholders in the e-commerce ecosystem, Jeo exemplifies how fostering a collaborative community, in this case around Magento/Adobe Commerce, can drive the industry forward. “Establishing a healthy ecosystem enables all the players to bring the ecosystem up. It’s a win-win for everyone because merchants know that they will be investing in a platform that has a lot of support,” he said.
