35-year-old Edward Tirtanata turned a local Indonesian coffee stall into a $1bn international brand, Kopi Kenangan, in 7 years. The company, with over 800 locations, generated $100m in 2023. Its success stems from a grab-and-go model, tech-enabled operations, and hyperlocal approach. Tirtanata, who studied finance and accounting, plans to expand globally and hopes to list Kopi Kenangan in the U.S.
