The young man had a strong conviction that his technique could improve farm productivity. He convinced venture capital (VC) investors to support eFishery. It was a runaway success for a decade.
A man from the slums of Jakarta is at the centre of a big stink. Gibran Huzaifah, the founder of eFishery, was born into poor family in 1988. He was blessed with a knack for invention. He was adept at fixing and tinkering with gadgets. As a beneficiary of Indonesia’s free education, he enrolled in the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), a top engineering university.
Huzaifah discovered a new fish feed technique while studying engineering. He put it to effect by running a catfish farm. The farm was able to reduce the cost of feed by 28%.
