Reported by detikcom, Wednesday (24/4/2024), Mooryati Soedibyo, the granddaughter of Sri Susuhunan Pakoe Boewono X Keraton Surakarta, founded Mustika Ratu in 1973. At that time, she started her business from home.

"In 1973, I started the business in the garage of my house with two domestic helpers, whom I led myself with a capital of Rp 25,000," Mooryati recalled.

She started the business by making herbal products. Her first concoction was kunyit asam, made from a mixture of tamarind, palm sugar, and cloves. As time went on, the business continued to expand. From two people, it grew to 25 people, and then 50 employees who lived at home.

The growth of Mooryati Soedibyo's business is reflected in the opening of her first factory in 1981. At that time, the factory was inaugurated by the Minister of Health at that time, Dr. Soewarjono Surjaningrat.

Having faced financial obstacles, he eventually took a loan from Bank Dagang Negara. To complete the organization, new strategic leaders were formed, namely production, research and development (R&D), distribution, finance, and marketing leaders.

The presence of the factory also marked the birth of the name 'Mustika Ratu', which was inspired by Javanese philosophy. It goes, 'Trahing kusumo rembesing madu, Turuning Sinatrio, Tedake wong amorotopo, Mustika ning Ratu, dan Mangayu Hayuning bawono.'

The free translation is, 'descendants of strict-filtered knights, who behave with concern and awareness, the valuable legacy of a king is born. This philosophy is carried in every aspect of the company, which provides the best ideas and work results that come from the ancestral traditions of the Surakarta Hadiningrat Palace.
