Adha Gozali

Founder, builder, and writer documenting what it takes to build ventures from zero. Across education, operations, and institutional partnerships in Indonesia and beyond.

I'm currently building four ventures:

  1. CEO MasterClass (Alternative MBA with KADIN Indonesia)

  2. Dayaly Ops (venture-backed remote operations for cross-border founders)

  3. Nusa Akademia (international education consultancy)

  4. AGC Journey (helping founders build and launch in 30 days).

This site is my central hub. Where my work, writing, and ongoing projects come together.

Ventures

What I'm building across education and operations.

CEO MasterClass

Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Indonesia's top EdTech platform training future business leaders. Backed by KADIN Indonesia, we deliver MBA-equivalent education through 8 Steps taught by 8 Conglomerates — at a fraction of traditional MBA cost, with BNSP certification.

Our mission: Create 1,000+ "Champions" — holistic entrepreneurs equipped with frameworks, capital access, network, and AI tools to drive Indonesia's 8% economic growth toward Indonesia Emas 2045.

Dayaly Ops (Venture-Backed, Pre-Launch)

Building dedicated remote operations infrastructure for cross-border founders in Japan, Singapore, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Backed by a Singapore-based venture builder, we're creating the operating system for founders who need reliable Indonesia-based operations without hiring full-time.

Currently in pre-launch. Building the operating system, refining the model, preparing for first cohort.

Co-founder of an education consultancy specialising in international school admissions and test preparation for Indonesian students. In partnership with STARICH Education Singapore (MOE-registered, Cambridge certified, serving 6,000+ students), we offer comprehensive services including entrance exam prep, diagnostic assessments, school application guidance, and access to top international schools in Singapore and beyond.

Nusa Akademia

Where I work directly with early-stage founders and businesses who need to build and launch fast.

What we build in 30 days:

AI-Powered MVPs — Web apps, AI agent flows, and tools that solve your customer pain points. Not experiments, not demos but real sellable products you can ship to customers.

Internal AI Systems — Operational tools like AI-powered SOP assistants.

Digital Identity — Set up and optimise your business presence for distribution and discoverability (SEO) and geographic reach (GEO). From invisible to findable.

AGC Journey

Background & Approach

My work often combines philosophy, institutional operations, and practical AI implementation.

Academic foundation: Philosophy degree from University of Indonesia — trained to think in systems, ask hard questions, and work through complexity.

Institutional experience: INSIDE LVMH brand and operations program — learned how elite brands actually operate at the strategic and operational level.

AI & data expertise: DataCamp certified in AI Fundamentals and Data Literacy (exam-verified). I build AI-powered tools, agent flows, and internal systems that solve operational problems — from web apps to SOP assistants that eliminate communication bottlenecks.

Builder experience: Co-founded abeingisasaking (philosophy education platform reaching thousands), launched Kasir Kilat (POS app serving 100+ Indonesian SMEs), and now building across education, operations, and AI-powered venture development.

I don't separate thinking from doing. The best insights come from building with real stakes.

Writing and Documentation

I write regularly about what I'm learning while building, the messy part, and lessons learned. Even the failures and victories.

Topics I explore:

  • The psychological and strategic reality of building from zero

  • What actually happens in investor meetings, partnerships, and institutional negotiations (BTS)

  • Patterns in decision-making, people, and power dynamics

  • Building operations systems that scale across borders

  • Practical AI implementation for early-stage businesses

  • The gap between theory and practice

    And of course, Philosophy :)

Working Together

I work with a small number of founders, businesses, and organizations each year. My focus is on helping people build and ship

For Early-Stage Founders & Businesses

Through AGC Journey, I help you ship your MVP and establish your digital presence in 30 days:

  • Build AI-powered web apps, agent flows, and internal tools

  • Implement AI systems that reduce operational friction (like SOP assistants that eliminate back-and-forth)

  • Set up digital identity optimized for discoverability (SEO/GEO)

For Cross-Border Founders

Through Dayaly Ops (currently waitlist), reliable Indonesia-based operations infrastructure without full-time hiring headache.

For Companies & Institutions

I occasionally work with organisations on:

  • Workshops on practical AI implementation and venture-building

  • Strategic advisory for education programs and operational systems

  • Speaking engagements on building with institutional partnerships, AI adoption, lean start-ups, and philosophy

For Indonesian Families

Through Nusa Akademia, international school admissions guidance and test preparation.

I keep my commitments selective and intentional. If what I've shared here resonates, reach out. If not, take what's useful and keep building.
