Coming to Indonesia

After Multiply (a social shopping site) officially announced to move their headquarter office in Indonesia from USA, Google officially launches their Indonesia office (see here for more info).

Here's the reason why Multiply decided to move to Indonesia:

We chose Jakarta because the opportunity is so large. It’s such a fast growing economy. So many people are using Multiply in Indonesia, it’s such an important market for us.

Indonesia is one of the fast growing country in the world with its 6 - 6.5% economic growth. I've been reading on the news that many foreign companies are investing their businesses here in Indonesia.

I hope that the majority of people in Indonesia who only make about $100/month will share this economic growth as well. One way to help this country is to support small local business owners who amazingly contribute creating large number of jobs especially for the people who need it the most in small villages. By creating jobs in small villages through out Indonesia, it will help to build their villages and to reduce the migration to big cities in Indonesia significantly.

Anyway, we at Sweet Batik would like to say thank you very much for your support, whether from purchasing our products, mentioning about us to your families and friends, mentioning us on your Twitter, Facebook, Blog, Google+, etc. We really appreciated your support...

Love,

Sweet Batik
