Born and raised on the Island of Gods to a family with a deeply rooted artistic tradition, Ida Bagus Oka is not only a wildly successful entrepreneur but also a visionary, a mentor and a great believer in community values. Having traveled the world extensively, from a very young age, gave him a broad perspective on Bali, with its traditions, artistic heritage and spirituality. Being what he calls a member of a ‘Golden Generation’ – lucky enough to have live and experience both the Old and the New Bali – became a privilege and a great responsibility of preserving and sharing the past, he carries proudly within his fast-growing international community.

Biji World’s mission: ‘Plant the seeds for tomorrow’ reflects those values in every single project, whether it’s restaurants, hospitality, arts and music, design or motorcycles and lifestyle. Each one of those was born out of deep passion, untamed creativity, determination and love for his community. Valuing highly his past mentors, Ida Bagus Oka hopes to share their wisdom together with his own experience in order to give back and inspire people to dream big, the way his father taught him to do.
