Hi, I'm Nanna Iskandar.
Sri Purnama on paper; Nanna to everyone else.

I’m a lawyer by training, a researcher by temperament, and a founder by what can only be described as a recurring lack of restraint.Most of my work circles the same handful of questions: why we do things the way we do, who our systems actually work for, what they leave behind, and what we might do a little better. I explore them through arbitration and data-protection research, through the companies I build at Andamaris, and through the family foundations that keep classrooms full and mangroves growing.Away from the desk, I’m rather less serious. I read more books than my shelves can reasonably hold, write essays and poetry, sing whenever there’s a microphone (and occasionally when there isn’t), dance whenever the music asks, and lift weights because some days the heaviest thing should be something I can actually put down. None of it is a side project; it’s simply how I think.If you’re working on something that sits between law, policy and the real world, or you’d like to talk about any of the above, I’d love to hear from you.

Ventures

Andamaris Group is the investment holding and advisory house through which I invest in, build and advise businesses across renewable energy, legal services, agriculture, property, and trade. Its portfolio includes hydro power projects in North Sumatra, as well as ReksaLegal and Tanakarsa. We also work with founders and companies on market entry, corporate structuring and investment in Indonesia and beyond.

Tanakarsa helps international buyers source from Indonesia with confidence, from finding and verifying suppliers to managing quotations and coordinating export orders. Every engagement starts with a written scope and disclosed fees, and favours producers who treat their workers, land and communities well, so more of the value stays with the people who create it.

ReksaLegal provides business legal services for companies operating in Indonesia, from incorporation and licensing to contracts and personal data protection compliance, delivered by qualified lawyers who would rather give you a clear answer than a long memo.

Neekosa delivers IT infrastructure, cloud and custom systems for state-owned enterprises, financial institutions and corporate clients, and resells cloud services from AWS, Alibaba Cloud and Huawei Cloud. We start from how a business actually runs, then build technology that makes it easier, not more complicated.

Guardian PDP helps organisations comply with Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Law through practical, technology-based tools. The platform supports compliance management, risk assessments, and employee training to help protect personal data and reduce legal and regulatory risk. We work with state-owned enterprises, banks, and financial institutions to strengthen data governance and build a stronger culture of compliance.

Foundations

Established in 1961, Yayasan Pendidikan Prof. Dr. H. Kadirun Yahya is an education foundation providing learning from preschool through university level. Through Perguruan Panca Budi and Universitas Pembangunan Panca Budi, the foundation supports students at different stages of education, focusing on academic development, character building, and lifelong learning.

Yayasan Anak Ibu Bumi is a youth-led environmental foundation. Through Mahija Tribe, it brings young people into mangrove restoration, tree planting, environmental education and community projects, including a circular-economy pilot taking shape in Karawang.
