Greetings from our Co-Founders
As with all great ideas, Edukita owes its origins to childhood. Growing up, we couldn’t quite work out why our English teachers were so strict and so insistent on teaching grammatical concepts that felt barely relevant to our lives. We remember going to our extracurricular and tuition classes, kicking and screaming, against our will. And, so, we vow to never let our students at Edukita feel this way. Every student deserves access to learning that is meaningful, engaging, and truly practical.
Our team is driven by care: for our students, for each other, and for the impact we want to create. We value thoughtful work, honest conversations, and the courage to try things differently. That’s the culture we’re building — and the kind of people we’re excited to work with.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know us.
Why We Keep Going
For too many, education programs are disconnected from what is needed in today's world. For too many, the high quality programs are simply out of reach. Edukita exists to change this, and its founders decided to dedicate their full attention into solving this problem. Edukita aspires to provide educational experiences that are useful, engaging, and accessible so every young person will have the opportunity to build a compelling future for themselves.
​
Since our funding, we've served thousands of students across the country and we're just getting started.
The Gap We Couldn't Ignore
Early in their journey, they quickly recognized the barriers that many families face when they tried to find productive ways to spend their time in between school and home. Although they were eager to develop instrumental skills – such as problem solving, communication skills, and confidence – they didn't have good options. A lot of after-school programs are only exam prep focused. Most high-quality, progressive programs come with inaccessible price tags. As a consequence, most families are stuck with video games, social media, and other unproductive means to keep themselves occupied.
How It All Began
Edukita was founded with a simple belief that high quality education should be accessible to all.
​
It started as a part-time project during the pandemic while its founders still had full-time commitments – Peter Gumulia was still at Harvard Business School and Sean Widjaya was full-time at Airbnb. During this challenging time, they decided to start Edukita out of their shared passion for education and talent development – and their shared gratitude for educational and work experiences they've had.
Our Mission
Provide access to progressive learning experiences, enabling the next generation of Indonesians to realize their personal and professional aspirations
Bringing Learning Offline
Our first Edukita Center
Opening our first center marked a new chapter: a safe, welcoming space where students, teachers, and teams could grow together.
Expanding Our Impact
Our first corporate class
As trust in Edukita grew, we partnered with organizations to deliver learning beyond the classroom — helping adult learners build real-world skills.
It Started Online
Our first online class
Edukita began with a simple idea: make learning accessible, engaging, and meaningful — even through a screen.
This was our first step in reimagining how students learn.
Blending the Best of Both Worlds
Our first Rumah Belajar Edukita class
We combined online and offline learning to create a more flexible, human-centered experience — giving students the support they need, wherever they are.
Our Journey
Growing Together
The next chapter of Edukita won’t be built by systems alone, but by the people behind them. We’re looking for those who want to learn, contribute, and grow alongside us — people who care deeply about students and believe meaningful work is done together. If that sounds like you, we’d love to build what’s next, side by side.
Where We’re Headed
We’re continuing to grow with intention. As Edukita evolves, we’re expanding how we learn, teach, and support our students — building experiences that are thoughtful, engaging, and grounded in care. We’re learning from what works, improving what doesn’t, and staying curious as we move forward.
