This leaves startups like Lummo to serve merchants first.<\/li><li>In a market like Indonesia with more than 10,000 islands and 60 million merchants with very different needs, Krishnan said players in the digitalization space need to have a sense of focus to provide effective solutions to meet the major needs of merchants.<\/li><li>\u201cWhat we have done through the last two years, and what\u2019s clearly working for us, is over the course of time we\u2019ve really focused ourselves into a narrower but still large enough band, and gone deeper and deeper into that audience and kept on building from the insights that we keep getting from them,\u201d he shared.<\/li><li>Get the full event recap on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dealstreetasia.com\/stories\/digitalisation-startups-indonesia-285318\/\">DealStreetAsia<\/a>.
