Rock, paper, scissors. Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry. There are three witches in Macbeth and three bears in the story of Goldilocks. We use phrases like “third time’s the charm,” and trilogies are a pretty popular format for both books and movies. The triangle - which has three sides - is also known for being the strongest shape, and whenever I sneeze, I tend to sneeze three times in rapid succession. There’s certainly something about the number three, which is why in today’s premium story, we take a look at three listed Indonesian tech companies and how they fared in the first quarter of 2023. Amazing segue, eh?
