Anindya Novyan Bakrie (Indonesian: [ænɪndɪə nˈɑːvɪən bˈækɹi]; born 10 November 1974), is an Indonesian businessman and investor who is the CEO and President of Bakrie & Brothers, the successor to the Bakrie Group, one of the oldest conglomerates in Indonesia that is now transitioning towards the renewable sector.[1] Bakrie is the founder and CEO of the Visi Media Asia (VIVA) Group, which owns television stations with news and sports lineups, namely tvOne, entertainment lineups, namely ANTV, and the news portal VIVA.co.id. He is also the founder of the Bakrie Center Foundation, a platform for his philanthropic activities.[2] The group supplied the first 52 electric buses for public transport in Jakarta.[3][4] Its electric vehicle arm VKTR Teknologi Mobilitas partnered with China’s BYD in 2018 and later made a series of procurement of electric buses that are today plying the Indonesian capital’s roads.[5] Bakrie is on track to pivot his business group towards sustainable and digital businesses. One of the group’s business legacies is in coal mining and under Bakrie’s leadership the business group is now transitioning towards the renewable sector. Past profits accumulated by the Bakrie group from coal mining are now being reinvested into green projects and other efforts towards energy transition.[6] Bakrie was appointed by former Indonesian President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as a Director of the APEC Business Advisory Council. He is also the co-owner of English Championship club Oxford United, alongside Erick Thohir.[7][8][9]
