RIA MARSUDI

The Balancing Factor

Ria Marsudi is a doting mother of two and the driving force behind Fairatmos, Indonesia’s pioneering climate technology enterprise. At Fairatmos, Ria and her team utilise cuttingedge technology to facilitate high-impact carbon offset projects, setting the bar for community-based, eco-conscious initiatives.

Ria’s milestones are intertwined with her personal life, often defying societal norms. Operating a high-growth tech company while nine months pregnant is no small feat, and she credits her triumphs to a staunch support system and her fervent belief in her mission. This underlines her message: Women can wear many hats successfully, given the right environment and backing.

The venture has its complexities. The climate technology sphere demands understanding highly technical variables like carbon capture metrics for different tree species. Ria navigates these challenges with a robust team, sharing her zeal for environmental conservation.

Looking ahead, Ria’s excited about Fairatmos’ digital monitoring tool, fusing drone technology and AI to preserve over 260,000 hectares of forest. The project aims to blend economic growth with sustainable ecological practices. Ria envisions an Indonesia where towering skyscrapers coexist harmoniously with lush landscapes and vibrant biodiversity.

For Ria, success is not an endpoint but a ripple effect, impacting those around her positively. “It’s about making a meaningful difference,” she explains. The ultimate goal? To leave the Earth in a better state for future generations while uplifting her immediate community, especially her children, inspiring them to tread their impactful paths.
