Radhi Muamar, Geophysics UGM, currently with a petroleum company in Indonesia
I joined Indogeo Social Enterprise right after my B.Sc graduation to pursue technical experience prior to working as a Geoscientist in the oil and gas industry. Here, I was tasked in a team of recent graduates to carry out in-depth regional geology studies across the Sumatera fore-arc basins while being mentored by professional senior members of Indogeo. Indogeo also offered a wide variety of courses delivered by key-Indonesian geoscientists and when combined with the experience I learned from the project, have successfully sharpened my geological competencies in addition to my knowledge of geophysics learned in the University.
I fully endorse the continuation of development that Indogeo have brought for new graduates.

While managing several teams for Indogeo Social Enterprise, I led a project focused on digitizing and developing geological maps for oil and gas resources in Indonesia. The work involved coordinating various technical and field experts to ensure accurate map digitization, essential for resource exploration. Initially, the scale of the project felt daunting, but as we progressed, I became deeply motivated by the impact our work would have on Indonesia’s energy sector. The project ultimately strengthened my leadership and problem-solving skills, and its successful outcome not only benefited the industry but also reshaped my career, opening doors to future roles in geological exploration.

In 2016, the market crash hit everyone, and in our increasingly interconnected world, fresh graduates felt it acutely. Those in the geosciences, in particular, struggled to find jobs in their field. That’s when Herman Darman founded INDOGEO Social Enterprise. It was the only platform in Indonesia that bridged science and technology, giving young geoscientists a place to actively apply what they learned in school. The program trained young geoscientists to use published data and software and connected them with experienced industry mentors. This approach helped them create valuable work for the public while also developing crucial soft skills.
My personal project was a basin review in Indonesia. My team and I worked remotely from our homes, studying a sedimentary basin by analyzing published data and literature like geochemical reports and maps. We kept in constant contact through video conferences.
I want to thank INDOGEO Social Enterprise for helping me stay engaged, optimize my skills, and prepare for my future career.
