Integrity as core foundation for running a business<\/strong><\/h5>\n\nUtami acknowledged that the early phases of her business were challenging. Limited capital forced her to be resourceful so that production could continue without financial setbacks. She stressed that integrity and a willingness to learn were essential to moving the business forward. <\/p>\n\n
\u201cMy initial capital was only five million rupiah, which is quite small for starting a business. I had to manage it very carefully to keep production going. On top of that, promoting the products and attracting customers was extremely difficult. Integrity builds trust, both personally and professionally,\u201d she emphasized.<\/p>\n\n
She encouraged students to be bold in exploring pursuits outside their academic field, saying that now is the time to work toward their aspirations.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t assume you\u2019re unqualified just because your major is different. A humanistic perspective and sensitivity to meaning and stories can be a valuable strength. If we never try, we\u2019ll never discover which steps can take us forward,\u201d she advised.<\/p>\n\n
Utami\u2019s journey highlights UNAIR\u2019s commitment not only to producing capable graduates but also to empowering alumni to innovate and make meaningful contributions across various industries.<\/p>\n\n
