Jakarta — Every milestone tells a story, and for Iksan Juhansyah, that story is one of courage, persistence, and vision. As the CEO of PT Raja Rasa Kuliner, the company behind DKRIUK Fried Chicken, he has spent years building not only a business but also a movement that empowers thousands of Indonesians to dream beyond their circumstances. His recognition with four major business awards in 2025 marks not just the success of a brand but the legacy of a leader who believes that purpose and profit must walk hand in hand.
The recognitions include:
- 🏆 The Most Innovative Excellent Award 2025 for Excellent Leader In Innovative Strategy For Business Sector 2025
- 🏆 The Most Innovative Excellent Award 2025 for Fast Growing Company In F&B Sector Of The Year 2025
- 🏆 Global Business Leader Award 2025 for Fast Growing Business
- 🏆 Best of the Best Award ASEAN Winner 2025 for Best of the Best Brand Excellence In Digital Era 2025
Each honor represents a facet of excellence. Together they reveal how integrity, innovation, and leadership can transform a simple idea into a nationwide enterprise.
Iksan’s journey began far from comfort. Born in Padang in 1991, he experienced financial hardship at an early age and took on various jobs to support his family. Those years of struggle taught him discipline and empathy, values that would later shape the foundation of his leadership.
When he founded DKRIUK Fried Chicken, his mission was to create opportunity through inclusion. The company introduced a royalty-free partnership model guided by sharia principles, enabling more than 6 000 entrepreneurs across Indonesia to build sustainable businesses. This approach not only changed the F&B franchise landscape but also provided a model for shared growth built on trust.
Under his guidance DKRIUK evolved into a brand that represents quality and empowerment. Its menu, featuring favorites such as Ayam Original, Ayam Hot, Ayam Dkribho, Ayam Geprek, and Crispy Chicken Skin, reflects innovation while staying true to local taste. Complementing its products are programs such as Gerobak Ekonomis and Hotsnack Ekonomis, which make entrepreneurship accessible to people with limited capital.
These achievements culminated in 2025 when DKRIUK and Iksan were recognized with four distinguished awards honoring innovation, leadership, and sustainable growth. The Excellent Leader In Innovative Strategy For Business Sector 2025 title celebrates Iksan’s ability to align business creativity with ethical leadership. The Fast Growing Company In F&B Sector Of The Year 2025 acknowledgment highlights DKRIUK’s rapid national expansion. The Global Business Leader Award 2025 for Fast Growing Business honors the company’s consistent commitment to inclusive entrepreneurship, while the Best of the Best Award ASEAN Winner 2025 for Best of the Best Brand Excellence In Digital Era 2025 recognizes DKRIUK’s leadership in digital transformation within Southeast Asia’s culinary industry.
To Iksan, these recognitions are not an endpoint. They are reminders that success gains meaning only when shared with others. “Every award is both an honor and a responsibility,” he said. “It tells us to stay consistent, to keep creating value, and to never forget why we began.”
Behind the accolades stands a company culture defined by compassion. DKRIUK continues to extend long-term assistance to families of employees who pass away during service, reflecting Iksan’s belief that humanity must always accompany progress. This philosophy distinguishes DKRIUK as a business that measures success not only by numbers but by the lives it touches.
As DKRIUK Fried Chicken prepares for international expansion to Malaysia, Japan, and Saudi Arabia, Iksan remains focused on building systems that endure beyond any recognition. His goal is to establish a global Indonesian brand that embodies trust, innovation, and sincerity.
The recognitions of 2025 are more than celebrations of growth. They are proof that a leader who began with little can build something lasting through vision and integrity. For Iksan Juhansyah, the true legacy lies not in trophies but in the opportunities created, the people empowered, and the belief that good business can make the world better
