From Ordinary to Extraordinary

Qatar is where it all began, there I met a lot of excellent and popular kebab vendors. After tasting one of those kebabs, a tiny glitter of inspiration encouraged me to open a kebab business in Indonesia

In September 2003 I started my first Kebab business with capital investment of 4 million rupiah. I was determined to make this work, nevertheless personal factors got me a in dire straits; my parents discouraged my entrepreneurial spirit. Yet, I kept my commitment to establishs a kebab business.

From a small cart, as well as the loan, I built the business slowly but surely. The inauguration of PT Baba Rafi Indonesia was realized in 2005 and at this point I started to franchise the Kebab Turki Baba Rafi brand.

Years and years of dedicated hard work building this business resulted in success after success in the years to follow. The climax came in 2006 when I received The Asia's Best Entrepreneur under 25 Years award - by Business Week. Numerous awards would and still follow to recognize my persistence, hard work and creative solutions in building business ventures.

Now the Kebab Turki Baba Rafi, which I started from a small cart, has more than 1300 branches spread out over 8 countries across the world. Besides Kebab Turki, I am also leading more than 10 different businesses in various fields such as food, beauty, investments and lifestyle.
