eFishery, a $1.4B Indonesian agritech startup, faces investigation for allegedly inflating revenue by $600M.

Indonesian agritech startup eFishery, valued at $1.4 billion and backed by SoftBank and Temasek, is under investigation for allegedly inflating revenue by nearly $600 million. The preliminary report, conducted by FTI Consulting, suggests over 75% of the reported figures were false. The company, which provides smart feeding devices to farmers, claimed a $16 million profit but is alleged to have suffered a $35.4 million loss. Co-founder and CEO Gibran Huzaifah was dismissed in December. The ongoing investigation could impact investor confidence in Indonesia's startup sector.
