Entrepreneur, lawyer, and philanthropist Maya Miranda Ambarsari may be known for her expansive business portfolio, but she is also one to share her blessings to underserved communities.

She currently sits as the co-founder and shareholder of PT Merdeka Copper and Gold Tbk, a gold mining company she founded with her husband, Andreas Reza Nazaruddin. The company engages in exploration and production of gold, silver, copper, and other related minerals.

While Ambarsari got her start in business via telecommunications, her entrepreneurial career soon expanded to oil refinery PT Tawu Inti Bati, real estate Elliotti Residence, beauty venture Gorjes Hair Salon & Lounge, e-commerce firm JD.ID, and recently, Batamec Shipyard.

A lawyer by profession, Ambarsari graduated from Pancasila University. She later decided to pursue a master’s degree in International Business at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne.

Rumah Belajar Miranda (RBM), an educational institution in South Jakarta named after Ambarsari’s late mother is one of her philanthropic outlets. It offers free education to the general public. What started as an Islamic study group now caters to hundreds of students through its facilities like library and kindergarten.
