Hello there

When I was still in school, some of my more financially savvy friends urged me to invest my money instead of leaving it in a bank account. Knowing that I was essentially living from allowance to allowance, my friends suggested that I “start small” as it was more important to begin early. Alas, I did not follow through on their advice because I was too lazy to do research and my finances were stretched too thinly.

However, that’s not a mistake most businesses will make (hopefully). Even if the amount is small, backing the right ventures can often lead to outstanding rewards. In today’s story, we discuss how Modalku and Carro are doing just that with their investment in Jakarta-based Bank Index.
