This fish farmer-turned-entrepreneur runs a profitable start-up. Here are his tips

Indonesian Gibran Huzaifah Amsi El Farizy is no stranger to the start-up world.

While he was still a college student, Farizy started his own fish-rearing business — and by the time he graduated in 2012, he was managing 76 ponds.

Now at 33, Farizy runs Indonesia-based startup eFishery, which developed products such as automatic feeders that help local seafood farmers save costs and improve productivity.

Today, eFishery serves close to 60,000 farmers and about 280,000 ponds, making it one of the largest startups in the industry.
