JAKARTA - The national conglomerate that owns the CT Corp business octopus, Chairul Tanjung, officially launched an online-based grocery shopping platform (e-grocery), namely AlloFresh, on Wednesday, March 2.

This launch seems to be a follow-up to Chairul Tanjung's 'come back', which previously disappeared from media coverage for a long time, and then reappeared as the Ultimate Shareholder of PT Allo Bank Indonesia Tbk.

By the tycoon who is familiarly called CT, AlloFresh's business will later be run through one of CT Corp's business entities, namely Trans Retail Indonesia, in collaboration with Bukalapak.com and Growtheum Capital Partners, with an initial funding value of Rp. 1 trillion.

"We provide solutions for the community with online shopping facilities and delivery to their homes. By establishing partnerships, it will also provide strong added value for consumers. As with Bukapalak, which has a very deep understanding of market conditions online," said President Director & CEO of PT Trans Retail Indonesia, Bouzeneth Benaouda, in his virtual official statement, Wednesday, March 2.

On the other hand, the President of Bukalapak, Teddy Oetomo, also expressed his joy at being able to collaborate with Trans Retail Indonesia, by launching AlloFresh.

"This is a win-win solution with us participating in this collaboration. Trans retail is full of experience and has become one of the leaders in this institution with more than a quarter century of experience in the retail sector, while we from the Bukalapak side contribute and add to our experience on the online e-commerce side," said Teddy.
