What PT. SEKAWAN CHANDRA does

PT. SEKAWAN CHANDRA is a privately held Indonesian regional retail group founded on March 18, 1984 by Alesius Bunawan and headquartered in Bandar Lampung, Lampung Province. The company operates a multi-format retail platform anchored by 9 Chandra Superstore locations combining supermarket and department store formats, complemented by over 40 Chandra Minimarket (CHAMART) neighborhood outlets across Bandar Lampung, Metro, Bandar Jaya, and Pringsewu. The flagship Superstore was transformed into Chandra Mall in September 2023, adding cinema, food court, and entertainment amenities to the traditional grocery and general merchandise mix, and a new lifestyle-concept superstore (Saburai) opened in February 2025.

The business generates revenue primarily through one-time product sales across supermarket groceries, fresh produce, household goods, apparel, accessories, and general merchandise, supplemented by subscription-style revenue from the VIP Card membership program (Rp 35,000 administrative fee) with point accumulation and redemption at VIP Counters. Underlying technology is described as standard retail point-of-sale and inventory management systems; the company does not disclose proprietary technology, AI, or data assets. Omnichannel capability is built through partnerships with GrabMart (delivery), Tokopedia (marketplace), and a proprietary My Chandra digital platform.

The company serves general consumer shoppers in Lampung Province through horizontal mass-market segmentation, with no disclosed enterprise or B2B customers. It is founder-owned with no evidence of external private equity, venture capital, or institutional investment, and is structured across three operating entities: CV. CHANDRA PERDANA ABADI and PT. SEKAWAN CHANDRA ABADI for supermarket and department store operations, and PT. SEKAWAN CHANDRA PERSADA for the minimarket business. No patents, regulatory actions, leadership changes, or M&A activity are disclosed.
