Danantara Indonesia and Telkom Introduce Padisera to Strengthen Digital Commerce for MSMEs

Padisera is being developed to broaden market access for MSMEs, from B2B to B2C, through a national digital commerce ecosystem

Jakarta, November 10, 2026 – Danantara Indonesia is spearheading the development of Padisera as the National Marketplace, a strategic initiative designed to strengthen Indonesia’s digital commerce ecosystem and give micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) access to broader markets. The platform aims to help local businesses become more competitive and take a greater role in the national digital economy.

Padisera builds on PaDi UMKM, the digital procurement platform owned by PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (Telkom), which has been developing a business-to-business (B2B) commerce ecosystem since 2020. With Padisera, MSME trade is set to reach a broader market, including retail consumers through a business-to-consumer (B2C) segment. The initiative is part of a wider effort to strengthen the national digital commerce ecosystem through collaboration and the use of Indonesia’s own technology capabilities.

Padisera was first introduced as the National Marketplace during the Danantara Technology Innovation Investment Forum (DTIIF) 2026 in Jakarta on Monday, October 26. The event was attended by Danantara Indonesia Chief Technology Officer Sigit Puji Santosa; Danantara Indonesia Managing Director of Strategic Technology Initiatives Irwan Rei; Telkom Director of IT Digital Kharim I. G. Siregar; and Telkom Director of Strategic Business Development & Portfolio Seno Soemadji.

Chief Technology Officer of Danantara Indonesia, Sigit Puji Santosa, stated that Padisera draws on the capabilities and experience Telkom has built through PaDi UMKM.

“By transforming PaDi UMKM into Padisera, we want to expand market access for MSMEs from B2B to B2C so they can reach more consumers. Padisera is built 100% by Indonesian digital talent, and we hope it will help drive an inclusive and sustainable national digital economy,” said Sigit.

Telkom President Director, Nanang Hendarno, stated that Padisera extends the benefits of the digital ecosystem to more MSMEs and supports the growth of Indonesia’s digital economy.

“We welcome Padisera as a way to widen market opportunities for MSMEs, including access to retail consumers. Telkom remains committed to contributing its technology capabilities and experience in building digital ecosystems to ensure this initiative adds value for businesses and supports the growth of Indonesia’s digital economy,” said Nanang.

PaDi UMKM has built a B2B ecosystem of more than 180,000 sellers and 115,000 buyers, with a Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of more than Rp27 trillion. That foundation is a key asset in developing Padisera as it grows into the National Marketplace. PaDi UMKM has focused on digitizing procurement, especially among state-owned enterprises (BUMN). Padisera adds B2C services to open broader transaction opportunities, with a pilot phase planned for 2027.

The platform is designed around the needs of different players in digital commerce. For MSMEs, it opens access to larger markets, helps them compete, and creates room to grow. Corporate and institutional buyers can make procurement more efficient and find a wider pool of suppliers. Retail consumers can expect a wide choice of products and secure, trustworthy transactions.

Danantara Indonesia and Telkom are confident that building on existing digital infrastructure will support more inclusive and sustainable MSME growth. Going forward, Padisera is expected to expand market access for MSMEs and connect local businesses more closely to the national digital commerce ecosystem.
