Yunindita Prasidya is a journalist from Indonesia. She explores the intersection between business, technology and culture.

Dita, as she is known, previously covered the Indonesian and Southeast Asian startup industry for The Ken, a Bangalore-based business and tech media. Prior to that, she was a business reporter for the Indonesian national newspaper The Jakarta Post, covering banking and the stock market.

She took her Master’s in Digital Anthropology at the University College London, and was a recipient of the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP), a scholarship programme from the Indonesian Ministry of Finance. Her dissertation explored the neoliberal subjectivity of Indonesian venture capitalists. For her Bachelor’s, she studied Communication with a major in Media Studies at the University of Indonesia, where she graduated with the highest GPA in her department.

Dita was a competitive debater during her school years, with a keen interest in arts—photography, film-making, and dance. She still does photography for personal memory keeping and for fun. (The photograph in the background was taken using a Kodak film camera her friends gifted her.)

Naps > coffee (she can’t drink coffee but she would imagine even if she could, the verdict remains).
