Business career
editEarly career
editTogether with his two friends, Sandiaga Uno and Elvin Ramli, Rosan started his business as financial advisors. The business that was started in 1996 was officially established into a company in 1997 under the name PT Republik Indonesia Funding, which is better known as Finance Indonesia. The entrepreneurial segment, which was scorned by a number of people, finally yielded sweet results. The economic crisis that has hit Indonesia since the end of '97 requires national companies to look for people who are able to revive the companies and businesses they manage. The crisis turned into a blessing for Rosan. Starting from a small office with an area of 70 square meters in Setiabudi area, Kuningan, South Jakarta, Finance Indonesia began to take the attention of large capital owners.[3]
Finance
editIn 2002, Indonesia Finance changed its name to Recapital.[4] From a small financial advisory firm, Recapital has become a large, reputable and competent company in terms of strategic cooperation, financial asset management and investors. "One time we were chatting, we could bring in investors to help unhealthy companies. Why don't we bring in investors for our company too?" said Rosan. This idea sparked the idea to expand the line of business. With finance and banking as the leading sectors, Recapital's business is growing by entering other sectors in the industrial sector where mining, infrastructure, property, to media and communications are included. In the financial sector, Recapital is present through Recapital Securities, Recapital Asset Management, Global Sarana Lintas Artha, Recapital Life Insurance (Relife), Recapital General Insurance (Reguard), and Bank Pundi.[5]
Infrastructure
editIn the infrastructure sector, Rosan's company is one of the leaders in Indonesia through the Acuatico Group in the supply and distribution of clean water.[6]
Media
editIn the field of Media and Telecommunications, Recapital is present through Alberta Media.[7]
Mining
editIn the mining sector, the name Recapital emerged as one of the shareholders of Bumi Plc. One of its subsidiaries is Berau Coal Energy. However Asia Resource Minerals (formerly Bumi plc), which was at the center of a prolonged media war between its disputing shareholders,[8][9][10][11][12][13] was dissolved in 2017.[14]
Sports

According to his field of expertise, Rosan was entrusted as Deputy General Chair of Banking and Finance. One of Rosan's real and aspirational works in carrying out this position is the establishment of PT Palapa Nusantara Berdikari. This company aims to help financing potential SMEs throughout the archipelago through capital.[16]
On November 24, 2015, he was elected as Chairman of Kadin for the period 2015 - 2020. He won 102 votes, beating another candidate for chairman, Rahmat Gobel, who only got 27 votes at the VII Kadin National Conference at the Trans Luxury Hotel, Bandung, West Java.
