Let me start by asking, do you have a mission in life? A mission that guides your action today which will impact tomorrow and the future. Or, are you familiar with someone who passionately lives their life based on their mission? Someone who has a purpose in life that makes them wake up excitedly every morning to live life to the fullest.

Well, what is a mission, actually?

In the context of an organization, a mission is a short statement of why an organization exists, what its overall goal is. In some ways, mission is an action-oriented vision statement, declaring the purpose an organization serves to its audience.

While giving you some time to think about your mission in life, let me take you deeper to Moka, our company’s mission.

When you enter our office, look to your right and you will see a wall of brick that boldly states our mission: “Empowering Businesses to Sell and Grow.” What does that mean?

As a company with high ambition, of course, we want to grow each and every day, but we can’t do it alone. We can only achieve higher together with merchants — the businesses in Indonesia.

Our mission is positioned to align with our vision — “to bring business ecosystem to everyone”. It is a mission with social impact that makes Moka and Mokateers excited to go to work every day. We provide end-to-end solutions to help Indonesian businesses sell and grow.

This mission also reflects on what we do inside. Our company does not happen to have one of the most succinct mission statements out there. But here, everyone believes what they do matters. Not only we want our merchants to grow, but we also want our Mokateers to grow with purpose, together with the company.

When we ask Mokateers, “how do you feel connected with our mission?” here are some interesting answers:

our fellow Mokateers (left to right); Rizky (Account Manager), Desy (Quality Assurance Lead), Husain (Senior Software Engineer).

“The fact that my work matters and make an impact to help businesses is what made me sure that I do my work based on purpose. And it feels nice to know that my purpose is aligned with the company mission.”Desy

“When I develop a certain product, sometimes I think about how the merchants will operate it. I want to make sure the thing I work on is helping them even in the slightest thing they might not notice.” Husain

“ As Account Manager, I have to ensure every single deliverable I have is implemented successfully, despite the hard circumstances and tight deadline. I wouldn’t be this sure if I’m not a true believer of our company’s mission.”Rizky

At Moka, we believe that Empowering Businesses to Sell and Grow is not just a tasteless mission. It’s a system to drive employee’s passion, just like a magic spell to guide us in believing the deeper meaning of our day-to-day work. It’s a keyword to ensure every employee that every little work they do actually matters a lot.

We believe in our mission. We woke up every morning, going to work, believing the same reason: to help SMEs. We’re helping Indonesia’s economy to grow. — Grady

A powerful mission is indeed an engine for us to live life passionately with purpose. So how about you, what’s your mission in life?
