Sarana AI was established to address the critical need for advanced workforce development in Indonesia, where only 27.6 per cent of the workforce is skilled in digital literacy, technical skills, and problem-solving (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2021).
With the rapid adoption of technology, it is projected that by 2025, 50 per cent of all employees globally will require reskilling to align with industry demands (World Economic Forum, 2020).
Sarana AI’s platform is designed to close this gap. It provides a real-time pulse on organizational talent health with measurable metrics to improve employee retention and facilitate the rapid regeneration of workforce capabilities.
Aktsa Efendy, co-founder and President of Sarana AI, said: “Our goal is to empower businesses to increase their revenue per employee without the need to expand headcount proportionately. We firmly believe that AI is here to augment, not replace, human talent.”

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.”
