About this episode

Wulan Tilaar discusses her journey as a second-generation leader of the Martha Tilaar Group and the company's shift towards women's empowerment.

Wulan Tilaar, second-generation leader of Indonesia's iconic Martha Tilaar Group, shares the deeply personal story behind one of Southeast Asia’s most storied beauty and wellness empires. From her mother’s humble beginnings in a four-by-six-meter garage salon to a franchise network spanning 40+ locations across Indonesia and beyond, Wulan reveals how a chance encounter with a human trafficking survivor in Hong Kong transformed the company’s mission, shifting from profit-driven growth to women’s empowerment through free vocational training.
