In Indonesia, 6.5 million motorcycle units were sold in 2019, up around 2% from 2018. By 2025, the Government plans to increase motorcycle production up to 10 million units a year.

Melisa Irene, Partner of East Ventures says, “We believe in Jovin and Mario’s vision for Moladin to become industry leader in motorist space. Throughout 2 years journey, the team had shown significant progress in realizing this vision.”

“With millions of new motorcycles sold every year, motorcycles have always been an integral part of many Indonesian people’s lives. However, the industry itself is still run traditionally where people have to physically visit different dealerships just to get the specific type or model of the motorcycle they want. With Jovin’s and Mario’s experience in the motorcycle industry, we are confident that Moladin can revolutionize the way people shop for motorcycles and becomes the number one all-in-one platform for all motorcycle-things related”, explained Nobuaki Kitagawa, Managing Director of CyberAgent Capital.
