We are grateful for the continuous support and trust from Sequoia Capital India and excited to welcome Sofina as our newest investor. With Sofina’s expertise in working with established fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies, we believe that Lemonilo can become one of the new faces of FMCG companies in Indonesia and beyond,” said Shinta Nurfauzia, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Lemonilo.

The company apart from developing business overseas will also work on the national market, Shinta added.
