About

Hey! I’m Razak, currently studying Entrepreneurship at Monash University’s Caulfield campus. I’m all about making the most out of campus life – from joining competitions to building communities. I was a finalist in the StartSpace Future Founder competition and am an active member of the StartSpace community in Melbourne. Right now, I’m working on @RantauReady, a platform dedicated to helping Indonesian students enjoy life in Melbourne and make the transition smoother. I’m also part of Monash’s Fastrack Program, a selective startup incubator that empowers students to create their own ventures. If you’re curious about life at Monash, how to maximize your campus experience, get involved in communities, or even achieve something big during your student life – feel free to reach out!
