The Asia Tech Podcast had an enjoyable and interesting conversation with Claudia Kolonas, a Founder of Pluang, an all-in-one investment app that is meant to promote financial inclusion in Indonesia.

Some of the topics Claudia and I covered:

• Financial literacy on the road to financial inclusion
• Many Indonesians are introduced to finance on Facebook and Instagram
• The impact of ‘influencers’
• Making an investment should have low monetary barriers to entry and should be frictionless
• How her background help shaped her views on financial inclusion
• The importance of portfolio diversification across varied asset classes and currencies
• Both commodities and crypto have a proper place in a portfolio
• Harvard Business School and Business at the “Base of the Pyramid”
• The importance of liquidity and compounding
• Building a company culture of experimentation
