No doubt, PT Excelcomindo Pratama (Tbk), telecommunications companies, granted predicate The Best Indonesia Berprestasi 2009. Currently, women who only graduated from junior high school was running two companies.
Each is a Marine PT ASI Pujiastuti Product engaged in fishing business, and Susi Air, which is a lease with 22 airlines plane propeller. Of the two companies, Susi could support thousands of employees.
This woman's way of life is full of twists. After deciding out of high school in Cilacap, Central Java, in 1983, Susi started her job as a gatherer of fish with a mediocre capital.
His business was growing. A year later, he managed to dominate the market Cilacap. Not content to do business only fish in one area, Susi began glancing at the south coast of Pangandaran in West Java.
Apparently, there luck Susi came. Fishery business thrive. If he had been trading just fish and shrimp, then Susi began to market-oriented commodity exports, the lobster.
She brought his own wares to Jakarta to offer to a variety of seafood restaurants and exported. Since foreign demand is very large, to provide a lobster stock, Susi be around Indonesia looking for the source of supply of lobster.

Thus, the need for even more passenger plane increases with increasing exports. Later, the plane that was only for sea transport of merchandise, he tried to rent to people who want to ride.
