The startup is a pioneer of foreign language learning applications with online English learning and online Mandarin learning institutions in Indonesia, which has successfully introduced an effective way of learning English and a fast way of speaking Mandarin. It is aware of the high demand for learning basic English and conversational English. Therefore, the platform offers certified foreign teachers from Asia Pacific countries who can help students become fluent in English faster. In addition to providing basic English classes for beginners and Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, and Indonesian courses for foreigners.

Cakap has shown an excellent track record operationally and financially as a prominent upskilling platform in Indonesia,” he said. “We look forward to Cakap’s continued strong execution in scaling its edtech solution and [to] catalyze access to quality affordable lifelong learning opportunities for everyone.
