Providing access to premium study materials through a mobile application to accelerate improvements in K-12 education

There is a huge market for after-school tuition in Indonesia specifically. This is because 56 million students and 300 thousand schools operate in one of the world's lowest performing education systems (PISA 2018 result). Further, there is a large gap between the highest and lowest earners, and sparse distribution of educational access (Global Education Monitoring Report 2016, UNESCO).

At McKinsey, he focused on education system transformation and public health strategy projects. Before McKinsey, he worked briefly for the Office of the President of Republic of Indonesia and Goldman Sachs in Singapore.

Belva grew up in a humble family in Jakarta, Indonesia that has always pushed him to study and work hard. His perseverance introduced him to the transformative effects of quality education, and led him to all his successes.
