“Decacorn or unicorn is not a thing we seek as the main goal. The main, short-term purpose of Bukalapak is how we can continuously develop and support small, medium enterprises in Indonesia,” said the e-commerce president Fajrin Rasyid in January 2019.
As of the end of 2018, the platform had 40 million traders or shops, while the users amounted to 50 million people.
To date, Bukalapak has no plan to acquire a company or startup to develop its business, yet it constantly expands the services, such as BukaGlobal so Indonesian SMEs could connect to markets of other countries, including Malaysia.
