When asked about his decision to expand his business during the pandemic, Handika explained his reasons. Aside from personal gain, it turns out he wants to open job opportunities for others affected by the pandemic.

"I want us and our partners to be able to create new job opportunities, the more stores we open, the more new job opportunities there will be for them and for our partners themselves. This can be a side option when their main job is disrupted," said the actor of the movie DEALOVA.

"We don't know when this pandemic will end, but we can't just sit still," added Ridwan, one of Handika Pratama's business partners.

Handika Pratama even labeled his Warkop Naik Kelas as an anti-pandemic business. The reason is that the prices offered are very affordable and, in turn, can provide job opportunities for many people during this pandemic.
