About Us

We believe Indonesian education deserves better technology.

Gumugu was built for one simple thing: to help schools, pesantren, and foundations across Indonesia run their daily operations more easily — so teachers and caregivers can focus on what matters most: teaching and educating.

Our story

From one school in Aceh, to all of Indonesia.

Gumugu was born in Banda Aceh in 2018, when our founding team was asked to help a small school struggling with manual admin. What started as a one-off project kept growing — other schools asked, then pesantren, then foundations.

Today, Gumugu is used by 120+ institutions across Indonesia, from kindergartens to universities, from remote tahfidz pesantren to foundation offices in Jakarta. But the mission stays the same: technology that truly helps, doesn't add work.

Our values

What drives this team.

Six principles that guide how we build product, hire, and serve customers.

Education first, technology second

We're not technologists who happened into education. We're education people who happen to know tech. Every product decision starts with: does this actually help the teacher and student?

Local context matters

Traditional pesantren, public schools, integrated Islamic schools, or small tutoring centers — each has its own way of working. We adapt, we don't force global standards.

Simple beats sophisticated

More features doesn't automatically mean better. We prefer a few features people actually use over many features that confuse staff.

Stay until they succeed

We don't sell software and disappear. Our team accompanies schools from first install until every staff member is genuinely comfortable — and stays responsive when help is needed.

Customer data belongs to the customer

We don't sell data, don't target students with ads, and don't commercialize school information. Your data is 100% yours — forever.

Honest about what's not ready

We deliberately don't promise features that don't exist. If the app isn't right for your school, we'll say so — rather than over-promise and disappoint mid-way.
