A-I worked for ABN-AMRO bank for 11 years. I was VP and credit structuring head in the bank when I left the job. But my husband wanted me to start our own business & this is how “Vina House” concept came in our mind. He wanted to make a new creation for Semarang, a land-mark for Semarang. So in 2002 we started with our own business & I must say we are successful today. Vina house is totally handled by me as my husband handles his own furniture business.
Q-How you find entrepreneurship?
A-Its very different from professionalism. There are more responsibilities in entrepreneurship. Its different case in entrepreneurship. We have different vision & Success is in our hand. The first thing which I learned is to get involved fully in the business, and also you have to be creative & innovative. We don’t know what will happen next & what will be result or outcome. Then we have to make next strategy and move forward.

A-I am enjoying a lot. It attracts to me to do new things, new thoughts, new success, and new results. Also there are more authorities & responsibilities. I am feeling more creative. My leadership skills are enhancing and one good thing is, I am employing MBAs now for managing Vina House.
Q-What is the most important thing you consider for running a business?
A-The most important thing is personal approach. We have to meet personally with our customers or clients. It gives them more satisfaction & reliability. This is what I do for Vina House. When I started this business all people think that Vina House is very expensive, but I tried to change the perception of all the people through marketing and personal approach, and I am successful now.
