RANS Says Ministry Content Deals Made Up 1% to 2% of Group Revenue
RANS said four content-creation contracts with two Indonesian ministries were worth about Rp14.7 billion.
The work was for Indonesia’s education ministry in 2024 and its fisheries ministry in 2025 and 2026.
The contracts made up 1% to 2% of RANS’ consolidated revenue in the periods covered, though they accounted for a larger share of revenue at its animation subsidiary.
The company said the packages covered more than 150 pieces of content and campaign activities, including museum promotions and fisheries education.
RANS said the procurement followed applicable rules and that the prices reflected the work agreed and the materials delivered.
Indonesia Corruption Watch questioned the deals, saying the benefits were hard to measure, the specifications limited competition, and public funds should not build the image of popular figures.
The dispute matters because RANS founder Raffi Ahmad became a presidential special envoy in October 2024, while the company says it had worked with public agencies before his appointment.
The company has confirmed the contract value, but the sources do not say whether the criticism will lead to further action.
RANS said content deals with two Indonesian ministries made up 1 percent of its consolidated revenue in 2024, 2 percent in 2025 and 1 percent in January-September 2026.
The four service packages were worth Rp14,696,955,002 in total.
The work involved content creation for the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology in 2024 and the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in 2025-2026.
RANS said the procurement followed applicable rules and was based on commercial pricing, agreed work and deliverables.
Indonesia Corruption Watch criticized the procurement, citing concerns about competition, measurable benefits and the use of public funds to build political images.
