JAKARTA - Bolekaka Dimsum, the largest dimsum supermarket in Indonesia, again inspired MSMEs through the "Bolekaka Dimsum Festival 2024." This event was held on Thursday 5 December 2024 at the courtyard of the Bolekaka Dimsum, Jatiwaringin, Bekasi supermarket, and aims to strengthen collaboration between Bolkaka and MSME players in Indonesia, especially in the Bekasi area.

Through this festival, Bolekaka wants to show its commitment to supporting MSMEs to develop further. The collaboration offered provides great opportunities for MSMEs to take advantage of Bolekaka production facilities specifically designed to meet their needs.

With this support, MSMEs can focus on marketing and expanding business networks without the need to face big challenges such as building their own factories or creating new products from scratch.

"In Bolekaka, we ensure that all products meet high standards and are ready to be marketed immediately. MSMEs can save time and energy, but still get maximum benefits," said the President Director of Bolkaka Dimsum, Muhammad Kautsar, in his statement, Thursday, December 12.

Kautsar started its business from a home factory before finally developing a business into an industrial-scale Bolkaka Dimsum factory. This factory is managed professionally with the support of a capable team in its field, ensuring that every operational aspect runs efficiently and according to high standards.

With a large production capacity, this factory is able to meet the needs of resellers, agents, and horeca (hotels, restaurants, and cafes/catering) which require reliable dimsum production partners.

Bolekaka is also focused on developing a flexible and innovative production system, creating dozens of quality dimsum variants. This variety of options provides added value, not only for partners, but also for consumers who look for authentic and quality dimsum products.

With this standard, Bolekaka provides practical solutions for consumers while increasing the competitiveness of MSMEs in partnership with them. This makes Bolekaka a strategic partner that can be relied on by small and medium enterprises throughout Indonesia.

In addition to simplifying the production process, this collaboration is also supported by the advantages of the Bolekaka Dimsum product. Bolekaka products are made from high-quality materials, such as 80 percent fresh chicken, and are processed with strict hygienic standards. The production process is carried out at large-capacity factories that have been tested, thus ensuring the quality of each product produced.

Bolekaka is also developing a reseller partnership system which is one of the main pillars of its success. This system provides opportunities for anyone, especially housewives, to start a business with only a freezer and minimal capital.

Until now, more than 8,000 resellers throughout Indonesia have joined and proven the effectiveness of this system.

"We invite more housewives to join as Bolekaka resellers. With the system we offer, anyone can succeed even with small capital," said Kautsar.

Bolekaka's success cannot be separated from the vision and dedication of Kautsar. In a business forum entitled Splitting the Main Error of Mindset UMKM which Failed to Reach Billions of Turnover, Kautsar shared his journey in developing Bolka into the largest dimsum supermarket in Indonesia.

Kautsar highlighted three main keys that are often a challenge for MSME players. First, have a clear vision or dream.

"Visi yang jelas membantu kita tetap fokus pada tujuan meskipun menghadapi berbagai tantangan," ujarnya.

Second, the importance of the willingness to continue learning and developing skills. Kautsar believes that success comes from sustainable experience and learning.

"Every step I take, including mistakes, I always take lessons to improve myself. This is an ongoing process," he said.

Finally, Kautsar emphasized the importance of spiritual support and good relations with family, especially the prayers of parents.

"Parent prayers are one of the things that provide strength and blessings in my business journey," he added.

After sharing three keys that he believes are the foundation of success, Kautsar also highlighted how collaboration and hard work played a major role in the development of Bolkaka Dimsum. This collaboration not only involves internal teams, but also guidance from experienced mentors.

As a business mentor and event resource person, Helmi Yahya gave his views. He emphasized that mental resilience, willingness to continue learning, and hard work are the keys to success for anyone who wants to move forward.

"I believe that successful people work hard. Without hard work, there will be no success," said Helmi.

He also expressed his appreciation for Kautsar, which is not only progressive in developing business but also maintaining family values.

"I see how Kautsar grows to become a progressive entrepreneur. In addition to focusing on business growth, he also always maintains good relations with parents, which according to him is a source of prayer and blessings," added Helmi.

Bolekaka Dimsum Festival is the event for the fifth birthday celebration of Bolekaka Dimsum. This event is the first dimsum festival in Indonesia to collaborate with the Bekasi City Government and involves 600 MSMEs from the Bekasi area.

In addition to the business talk forum, this event also provides a variety of interesting activities. Visitors can enjoy 1,000 free dimsums through Truck Bolekaka, explore superior products from 200 MSMEs and 100 IKM, and attend an educational class entitled 'Export Session' which provides insight into the product export process.

Not to be missed, there was a demonstration of cooking dimsum various variants that amazed visitors.

"Through this festival, we want to provide more than just experience. We hope that by taking advantage of the collaboration we offer, MSMEs can expand insight, strengthen competitiveness, and bring their business to a higher level," concluded Kautsar.
