JAKARTA: Shares in Indonesia's first listed tech unicorn, PT Bukalapak.com, surged 25% on their market debut on Friday as investors scrambled to get a piece of the country's fourth-largest e-commerce company in a booming sector.
Bukalapak shares rose to 1,060 rupiah ($0.0738) after reaching the 25% limit, with tens of thousands of investors buying shares on online platforms such as Ajaib and Stockbit, after the firm raised $1.5 billion in Indonesia's biggest IPO, valuing it at $6 billion.
