“I am amazed by my UMKM friends who are very persistent and have managed to survive this pandemic. Reading business proposals, watching presentations on Top 10 MSMEs, reminds me of the moment when I first founded the LSPR Campus. In doing business, the most important thing is we have to innovate, keep dreaming, keep up the spirit, and always maintain good product quality, “continued Prita.
