Hello Zidisha members, Let me introduce myself. My name is Agus Pramanta Wardhana. I am 36 years old. I am currently a worker in the legal teak wood craft processing sector for outdoor and indoor design materials. I have a family with a wife and four children who are currently in the process of completing their education. I am a hard worker in the woodworking sector, especially in the teak wood sector, with more than 20 (twenty) years of experience in this field. I provide teak wood processing services to be made into high-quality furniture products. I also have more than 12 (twelve) years of experience in controlling the quality of wood into furniture products, including in terms of supervising daily operations and strategies for establishing cooperation with legal wood suppliers. My life goal as a furniture wood entrepreneur is to provide benefits to others and provide financial balance for my entire family by building a business that is able to provide economic value in the needs of my family's life, including for local wood craftsmen. My hobby is providing free time or volunteering in social organization activities in the field of natural disasters and activities aimed at serving humanitarian actions.

I started building my career in this business by prioritizing local artistic values, sustainability, and openness. My vision is to make this business a leading manufacturer, producing quality furniture products and providing the best service guarantees for consumers as well as preserving local creative art of legal teak wood in Indonesia and so that this business can innovate following the trend of furniture needs at the global level. Meanwhile, my business mission is to prioritize customer satisfaction through honest, friendly, and professional service and produce high-value furniture works of art from local teak wood craftsmen. My business also includes a strategy in recruiting young wood craftsmen who must prioritize creativity and be based on the multi-talent and skills of local craftsmen. I have been involved in this business since a young age until now for more than 20 (twenty) years. I also provide legal teak wood products to be modified into furniture art with colonial or antique designs. During this decade, the market for this business has been the domestic and international hotel business sector for the needs of restaurant spaces, living rooms, bedrooms, and guest rooms. I also have expertise in wood quality control, marketing local and imported products, including indoor and outdoor design services. Custom furniture manufacturing is also a business strategy in this business, other strategies include fulfilling orders and providing indoor and outdoor furniture repair services in business offices and hotels. This medium-scale business uses entirely legal wood raw materials and employs skilled and experienced local craftsmen. Thank you Zidisha for approving me to join Zidisha members so that I can share experiences and share related to small-scale income-enhancing businesses in 6 (six) selected countries: Indonesia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, and Nigeria.
