Jakarta, Indonesia – On June 30, 2025, Bisnis Indonesia Group held its 23rd annual Bisnis Indonesia Awards (BIA), honoring 49 companies and one outstanding CEO for exceptional performance, innovation, and resilience amid today’s economic uncertainty. Themed “Resilience Towards Uncertainty”, the event spotlighted businesses that have demonstrated strategic strength, adaptability, and sustainable growth in challenging times.
The awards recognize listed and non-listed companies traded on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, with categories spanning across banking, non-bank industries, and special recognitions, including four Special Awards and the coveted CEO of the Year honor.
This year, Darmawan Junaidi, President Director of PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk, was named CEO of the Year, recognized for his visionary leadership in driving Mandiri’s transformation and delivering record-breaking results amid global macroeconomic turbulence. “This recognition is not only an honor but a validation of the transformative path we’ve taken,” Darmawan said during the ceremony.
In his keynote speech, Hariyadi B.
