Karaoke Business Closed, Inul Daratista Opens New Business as a Solution for Employees

Kapanlagi.com - Dangdut singer and entrepreneur Inul Daratista is one of the people affected by the Covid-19 virus. For almost two years since the Corona virus entered Indonesia, her business has been unstable.

Even her karaoke business had to be closed again due to government policies implementing PPKM to break the chain of Covid-19 transmission, which is increasingly worrying.

"Yes, everything is destroyed, my karaoke business has been closed for almost two years," said the wife of Adam Suseno when met in Mampang, South Jakarta, on Tuesday (27/7).

To save her business, the mother of one had to lay off some of her employees because she could no longer bear the burden since her business was no longer operational.

"But I have to survive because some of my employees still rely on me, so I still employ them" she said.

1. Small Business

As a solution to stay afloat and not reduce employees who still have to provide for their families, Inul Daratista took advantage of other business opportunities.

"I started a small business not only in clothing and so on. Basically, everything from food that I have and do now," she explained.

2. Thriving Amidst the Covid-19 Storm

Inul Daratista is grateful that her steps have paid off. In fact, as her business grows, she has hired more employees and helped them survive amidst the ongoing storm.

"Alhamdulillah, some of the employees who were initially 10 are now in the tens. But there was a pause because 10-20 of them contracted Covid. So everything stopped completely. Now things have started again, the situation has improved. And Alhamdulillah, none of my employees had severe Covid cases," she concluded.
