Asia's Best Younger Entrepreneur 2009

Malariantika Yulianggi
Indonesia

Age: 19

Company: Shoyu Pia Cake

When Malariantika was in the middle of her research on local foods such as cassava, she realized its abundance—and the fact that it still isn't widely used by Indonesian people. So she started to make Shoyu Pia cake (shoyu is Japanese for cassava). Nowadays, Anggi, as she likes to be called, has six employees to meet increasing demand from her customers.
