Business

Together with his two friends, Sandiaga Uno and Hasbi Hafani, Rosan started his business as financial advisors. The company that was started in 1996 was finally officially established in 1997 under the name PT Republik Indonesia Funding, which is better known as Finance Indonesia. The entrepreneurial segment, which was scorned by a number of people, finally yielded sweet results. The economic crisis that has hit Indonesia since the end of '97 requires national companies to look for people who are able to revive the companies and businesses they manage. The crisis turned into a blessing for Rosan. Starting from a small office with an area of 70 square meters in Tifa Building, Setiabudi, Jakarta, Finance Indonesia began to take the attention of large capital owners.

In 2002, Indonesia Finance changed its name to Recapital. From a small financial advisory firm, Recapital has become a large, reputable and competent company in terms of strategic cooperation, financial asset management and investors. "One time we were chatting, we could bring in investors to help unhealthy companies. Why don't we bring in investors for our company too?" said Rosan. This idea sparked the idea to expand the line of business. With finance and banking as the leading sectors, Recapital's business is growing by entering other sectors in the industrial sector where mining, infrastructure, property, to media and communications are included. In the financial sector, Recapital is present through Recapital Securities, Recapital Asset Management, Global Sarana Lintas Artha, Recapital Life Insurance (Relife), Recapital General Insurance (Reguard), and Bank Pundi.

In the infrastructure sector, Rosan's company is one of the leaders in Indonesia through the Acuatico Group in the supply and distribution of clean water. Through the Aetra Air Indonesia business arm, Acuatico is present in Jakarta and Tangerang. Acuatico is also a clean water supplier for Ho Chi Minh City. Acuatico also provides integrated water infrastructure specifically to supply drinking water in the Rasuna Epicentrum complex under the name Rasuna Eco Park. In the property sector, Rosan through Recapital owns the Grand Kemang Hotel in an elite area of Jakarta, the Losari Spa Retreat & Coffee Plantation Hotel (now MesaStila Resort and Spa) in Magelang, Central Java, as well as two resorts in Bali, namely The Edge Villa in Uluwatu and The Edge Villa in Uluwatu. Hill Resort in Ubud. Its newest property is Karang Beras Island in the Thousand Islands, Jakarta. In the field of Media and Telecommunications, Recapital is present through Alberta Media.

In addition, Recapital is a shareholder of PT Mahaka Media. Mahaka is a company engaged in newspaper publishing, magazine publishing, outdoor media/billboards, animation, radio networks, portals, and information technology businesses. In the Health sector, Rosan also has a Gandaria Hospital in the South Jakarta area. In the mining sector, the name Recapital emerged as one of the shareholders of Bumi Plc. One of its subsidiaries is Bumi Mineral Resources (BRM), a mining company that produces precious metals and base metals. Thus, from a staff of five, from a space of 70 square meters, Rosan has successfully grown his company to have more than 24,000 staff with offices that are spread all over the world. In 2013, it was reported that Roeslani, had stolen $173 million from Bumi Mineral Resources. The firm decided that if Roeslani returned the money, no legal action would be taken.
