Indonesia has four unicorns, all tech startups worth over $1 billion: ride-hailing Go-Jek, travel site Traveloka, and market places Bukalapak and Tokopedia. We can expect more unicorns to come from Indonesia once they improve things like transport (roads, rail, MRT, airports), internet (need more speed), decent electrical connections that don't suffer power cuts which bring tech companies to a standstill as mobile connections cannot handle the data volume of broadband, at least not until 5G is fully in use.
Indonesia contains the largest economy in South Asia and is emerged as one of the best market in the world. It is considered as the top 16th largest economy in the world by nominal GDP.

Since 1999 economy gets recovered and growth has improved and increased to over 4-6% in the recent past years.
