Yusuf Arifin—or often called Dalipin—said that from the beginning the founders agreed to build a coil with innovation as its main life. Many innovations have been born over the last 5 years by adhering to three pillars, namely excellence in journalism, excellence in technology, and excellence in storytelling.
“During the 5 years that Coil was founded, we never opened up to the public, telling us about the reason the Coil was founded, the underlying ideas, about the dreams of its founder when it started and where Coil will be taken. Five years may not be a long journey, but Coil has established itself as one of the leading media in Indonesia,” explained Dalipin.
From the start, Hugo and the other co-founders agreed to not just establish a media company, but develop an ecosystem within the coil. The 1001 Media, coil+, Ngumpar, and IC programs are some of the innovations developed to get there.
“In the end, what we develop is a media ecosystem within the coil ecosystem itself,” he said.
Various programs were also presented to enliven the coil’s birthday, titled #Super5tars this time.
There is a Meet with The Stars program featuring Vincent & Desta. Then, the Chit-chat with the Star program which presents the celebgram Clarissa Putri; winner of dozens of gold medals at the Math Olympiad Devon Kei Enzo & Mischa Aoki; Farhan Zubedi; and Sabrina Anggraini.

Five years since its establishment on January 17, 2022, the coil has achieved many achievements; trust from (more than) 80 million readers, awards from various parties—local and international, as well as affirmations from the highest ranks of policy makers in Indonesia.
“What has brought us to this point, I have always believed in two things. First, the trust or trust of the partners who joined from the beginning until today. as well as trust from stakeholders, shareholders, including readers. Second, the cohesiveness or solidity of the team that has been our capital from the beginning until now, “explained Hugo.
