Mohit Rai Delivers Key Insights in the Talk Show: “Inside the Buyer’s Mind”
As the key representative for Australian buyers, DNAP Managing Director Mohit Rai was invited as the keynote speaker for the talk show session titled
“Inside The Buyer’s Mind: What Buyers Are Looking For.”
In this session, Mohit shared a clear, practical perspective on what global buyers expect from Indonesian products today:
1. Quality That Matches Global Standards
Buyers are increasingly selective. Consistency, finishing, and reliability are non‑negotiable.
2. Supply Stability and Professionalism
International partners look for exporters who can deliver on time, communicate clearly, and scale responsibly.
3. Authenticity and Brand Storytelling
Products with a strong narrative — rooted in culture, craftsmanship, or sustainability — stand out in competitive markets.
4. Ethical and Sustainable Practices
From slow fashion to eco‑friendly production, global buyers value brands that reflect responsible business practices.
Mohit highlighted that Indonesia has a unique advantage: a rich cultural identity combined with rapidly improving production capability. When these strengths are paired with strong branding and consistent quality, Indonesian MSMEs can compete confidently on the world stage.
Showcasing Ethical Craftsmanship: Rumah Rakuji & EFFA Cinnamon
Before the talk show, attendees were introduced to two standout MSMEs from Pendopo:
- EFFA Cinnamon, showcasing Indonesia’s natural flavour excellence
- Rumah Rakuji, presented by founder Myra, demonstrating slow, ethical fashion rooted in craftsmanship and sustainability
These stories reinforced the message shared in Mohit’s keynote: global buyers are not just purchasing products — they are investing in values, identity, and purpose.
DNAP’s Commitment to Strengthening Indonesia–Australia Trade
DNAP continues to play an active role in connecting Indonesian exporters with Australian buyers across categories such as:

A Step Forward for Indonesia’s Global Trade Ambitions
Taste & Trade: Brew Deals Time demonstrated what is possible when government, industry, and private partners collaborate with a shared purpose. As Pendopo’s Head, Putu Laura, expressed, every initiative that opens doors for MSMEs contributes to Indonesia’s journey toward becoming a globally recognised hub of creativity and quality.
