Reporting from Antara, Nugroho is a high-ranking TNI AD officer who graduated from the Special Forces Command (Kopassus) which has quite a lot of experience in the military world.

During his career in the TNI, he held several positions, including being in group IV Kopassus, namely Tim Mawar, during the 1997-1998 pro-democracy activist period.

After that, Nugroho was also entrusted with a strategic position when he was a high-ranking officer, namely as Dandim 0733/BS in 2009-2011 under Military Regional Command IV/Diponegoro.

Furthermore, Nugroho moved to work as an Intermediate Agent for BIN in the Central Java region before finally occupying the chair of the Director of Mass Communications Deputy for Communication and Information of BIN based on the Decree of the TNI Commander No. Kep/463/VI/2016.
