Here's how Singtel will benefit from Telkomsel's growth

Profits of Telkomsel rose 15.6% in Q2.

Singapore Telecommunications' (Singtel) Indonesia mobile associate Telkomsel showed a stellar performance for Q2.

Telkomsel contributed 28.5% to Singtel's profit for the time period.

According to UOB Kay Hian, Telkomsel's net profits rose 15.6% in Q2. Its subscriber base also grew 13.1% YoY to 178 million.

Blended average revenue per user (ARPU) stood stable compared to local rivals.

According to UOB analyst Jonathan Koh, "Telkomsel continues to maintain its share of high-value subscribers and its lead outside of Java. It optimises its revenue through cluster-based pricing and market segmentation."

Revenue from voice grew 8.7% thanks to the migration from pay-as-you-use (PAYU) to voice packages.

Customers on flash data packages also grew 63.9% to 81.7 million, making the 45.9% of its subscriber base.

Data traffic also surged by 121.3%.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
