Strong Collaboration Bolsters Men's Grooming Ecosystem and Industry

The Indonesian men’s grooming industry is entering a new chapter with the arrival of a strategic collaboration between DeftBarber, an exclusive barbershop brand, and the Mitranesia.id platform. This partnership focuses on strengthening the barbershop business ecosystem through an integrated and sustainable partnership system.

This step is designed to provide ease for the public who wish to venture into the world of entrepreneurship without having to build foundations from scratch. Through the Mitranesia.id platform, access to information and business development now becomes more transparent and systematic.

One thing that distinguishes this collaboration is the integration with DeftBarber Academy. This internal barber school facility serves as a solution to operational challenges often faced by business owners, namely the standardisation of service quality and the availability of manpower.

DeftBarber Founder, Raden Riki, emphasised that the presence of this academy is a main pillar in maintaining service sustainability at every location. Not only for internal purposes, DeftBarber’s role in educating human resources has been nationally recognised through various strategic collaborations with the government.

“We actively fill training in various cities in Indonesia upon invitations from the Ministry of SMEs, SME Agencies, as well as Manpower Agencies at the district and city levels. This is our commitment to opening new job opportunities and ensuring that Indonesia’s human resources become increasingly skilled and agile,” stated Raden in his written statement, Friday (24/4/2026).

He added that this educational role is expected to bring meaningful changes for the nation. “Our focus is not merely expansion, but building a strong ecosystem and providing real contributions to improving the competency of citizens,” he asserted.
