Pandu Hartanto

I build software companies in Southeast Asia.

Co-Founder & CTO of Etalas, an AI-first product development agency. Alongside that, I'm building Kareem — a productive waqf holding company structured to serve education for generations. Based in Jakarta. Working slowly on things that matter.

Updated March 2026

Co-Founder & CTO · Etalas

An AI-first product development agency. We help founders and operators build software that actually ships — not prototypes, but products people use.

CEO · Kareem

A productive waqf holding company. The structure is unusual: shares are permanently endowed, profits flow to education, and the company is designed to outlast its founders. I'm building it deliberately, not in a hurry.

OpenClaw Consultant · Independent

I help executives deploy AI agents that work in production — connected to real tools, running real workflows. Not a demo. Something that runs.
