Career
Early career
Indra's interest in playing badminton began from watching his father, which led him to train professionally at his local club Scorpio Bandung.[2] After joining Djarum badminton club in 2018, he took part in several international junior tournaments, namely winning the 2021 Bahrain International Challenge with Daniel Edgar Marvino.[3] In 2022, him and Marvino earned a place in the Indonesian national men's doubles squad after winning the national tryouts (Seleknas).[4]
National team career (2022-present)
In the 2022 World Junior Championships team event, Indra and Marvino only played in the group stage against Latvia.[5] They exited the individual event in the second round.[6] The duo also reached the semi-finals in the Indonesia International Series, Bahrain International Series, and the Bahrain International Challenge.[1]
Indra and Marvino were runners-up in the 2023 Iran Fajr International Challenge in January,[7] and then won the Swedish Open in May,[8] amidst a year riddled with multiple early exits.
In 2024, Indra commenced a new partnership with Patra Harapan Rindorindo. Throughout the year, they reached three finals: the Indonesia International Challenge in Pekanbaru,[9] the Vietnam Open,[10] and the Indonesia Masters Super 100 II in Surabaya,[11] the latter being their last tournament as a pair.
2025 was Indra's breakthrough year, which saw him and Nikolaus Joaquin winning back-to-back International Challenge titles in Singapore and Sri Lanka at the onset of their partnership in February.[12][13] This was followed up with two more consecutive titles in May, this time in Luxembourg Open and Denmark Challenge.[14][15] Their Super 300 debut at the 2025 Macau Open ended in the first round to Lee Fang-chih and Lee Fang-jen.[16] After finishing second at the Al Ain Masters,[17] they overcame veterans Choi Sol-gyu and Goh V Shem to win their first Super 100 title at the Indonesia Masters Super 100 II in Medan.[18] In their second Super 300 tournament, the Korea Masters, they became runner-ups to Lee Jong-min and Wang Chan.[19] Indra and Joaquin's fairytale run in 2025 peaked at the Australian Open. Making their Super 500 debut, the pair upset the more experienced Man Wei Chong and Tee Kai Wun and also Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin—before clinching their inaugural Super 500 title in a three-game victory over seniors Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri.[20]
Kicking off the 2026 season at the Malaysia Open, Indra and Joaquin's Super 1000 debut ended in the first round to Sabar Karyaman Gutama and Muhammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani.[21] Much better was their second tournament, the Indonesia Masters, which saw them narrowly escape Lee Jhe-huei and Yang Po-hsuan to break into the quarter-finals.[22] There, they earned their second victory against Alfian and Fikri and later avenged their loss to Gutama and Isfahani to reach their second Super 500 final,[23][24] though they ultimately finished as runners-up following a straight-games defeat to Malaysia's Goh and Izzuddin.[25] Coming to the Thailand Masters as the second seed, they finished second to compatriots Leo Rolly Carnando and Bagas Maulana.[26]
Indra participated in his first senior team event at the Asia Team Championships. Him and Joaquin played thrice in the tournament, winning their tie against Malaysia and losing both knockout stage ties against Thailand and Japan respectively.[27][28] Their debut at the All England Open ended in the semifinals after losing against defending champions and world number 1 Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae.[29]
