As the sun dipped below the Jakarta skyline, the management team from PT. Cipta Bangun Nusantara (CBN) joined PT. Austindo Geo Energy (AGE) for a memorable Iftar gathering at SOHO Pancoran Building. The holy month of Ramadan provided the perfect backdrop for this special invitation, blending professional camaraderie with spiritual reflection.
The evening began with the serene adhan call to prayer, after which AGE’s President Director Agus Soedarsa welcomed guests by emphasizing how the values of Ramadan – perseverance, renewal, and community – mirror the geothermal industry’s journey in Indonesia. As dates and traditional kolak were shared, our teams found an immediate connection through:
- Project discussions between course servings, where CBN highlighted our recent successes in the fields
- Networking with AGE’s technical team about innovative solutions for high-temperature fields
- Shared visions for sustainable development during the breaking of fast
The convivial atmosphere allowed for meaningful exchanges that went beyond typical meetings. CBN’s Bidding Team, Egy noted: “There’s something powerful about discussing Indonesia’s energy future while sharing this blessed meal – it reminds us our work ultimately powers communities and families.”
As the evening concluded with maghrib prayers and hearty Indonesian cuisine, both teams left with:
✓ Stronger personal connections to complement professional relationships
✓ Clear next steps for collaboration on the next project.
✓ Renewed commitment to developing geothermal energy responsibly
“This Iftar has nourished both our bodies and our partnership,” remarked Agus Soedarsa as farewells were exchanged, capturing the spirit of an evening where business and brotherhood seamlessly intertwined.
