Our Rich Heritage
Brama One Ventures shares the rich heritage of the ESA Sampoerna Group. The group’s story began in 1913, when founding father Liem Seeng Tee initiated a modest business with a great vision: To grow mutually beneficial businesses to improve the lives of countless people
The ESA Sampoerna Group was established as an agricultural enterprise, with tobacco as its first commodity. In more than a century of operation, the group consistently demonstrated that expanding agricultural commodities is just as crucial as ensuring mutual relationships with our partner farmers across Indonesia.
The group has currently expanded from Agriculture & Forestry to other business segments ranging from Food products, Trading, Livestock, Retail to Property.
A Fresh Direction
In seeking new investment horizons, ESA Sampoerna has commissioned a new investment mandate focusing on South-East Asia. We have interests in all stages of investment, from start-ups to scale-ups, from venture capital to private equity.
Our portfolio supports a diversified strategy:
Start-ups & scale-ups: that provide investment upside
Traditional businesses: that provide stability and cashflows
