Indonesian AI-powered human resource services firm Sarana AI raised an unknown sum in pre-seed funding led by Fortress Data Services (FDS), a banking and financial services IT company.
The new funding will be utilized to launch and strengthen Sarana AI’s platform.
In Indonesia, where just 27.6% of the workforce possesses technical, problem-solving, and digital literacy abilities, Sarana AI was founded to meet the urgent demand for advanced workforce development (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2021).
It is estimated that by 2025, 50% of all workers worldwide will need to retrain in order to meet industrial expectations due to the fast use of technology (World Economic Forum, 2020).

Pak Sutjahyo Budiman of FDS added, “Talent recruitment, retention, and regeneration are the core components that enable scale and growth for all institutions. An automated and independent recruitment, feedback, and upskilling system will undoubtedly play a pivotal role to enact people development functions efficiently. We believe Sarana AI’s solutions will reshape the future of talent and HR function across collar spectrums in our country.”
The platform from Sarana AI is made to bridge this gap. With quantifiable measures, it offers a real-time assessment of the health of organizational talent, enhancing employee retention and promoting the quick renewal of labor capabilities.
