The founder of Indonesia's newest unicorn, Kopi Kenangan, provides an account of one company's adjustment to economic changes through real-time data usage. Edward Tirtanata explains how the coffee purveyor expanded from humble origins a few years ago to 600 stores and counting -- while remaining profitable and cultivating a distinctive HR culture.

Also, Jeff and Kevin examine Indonesia's second clear case of modern slavery practices to emerge within the past decade: the use of forced labor and jail-like detention by the chief of Langkat District. Reformasi Dispatch looks at the implications for legal institutions in light of findings from research by civil society groups and the Witness Protection Agency (LPSK).

Other topics: a move toward finally reopening Bali to foreign arrivals, and a look at the 2024 election outlook following a firm date established by the General Election Commission (KPU): presidential balloting on Valentine's Day, 2024.
