Unleashing the Power of Generosity: Fadly Sahab’s Relentless Mission to Pay It Forward
Where others hoard success like a secret recipe, Fadly Sahab stands apart not as a gatekeeper, but as a gateway.
As the CEO & Founder ZAP, Indonesia’s largest beauty clinic network, Fadly doesn’t just build businesses; he builds bridges for others to walk across, scale faster, and shape the future alongside him.
For his unwavering commitment to lifting others as he climbs, Fadly was named Pay-It-Forward Endeavor Entrepreneur of the Year 2024 — a title that echoes not just achievement, but intention. This is his story.
The ZAP Phenomenon: More Than Clinics, A Scalable Legacy
From the humble beginnings of a door-to-door hair removal service in 2009, ZAP has since undergone a radical metamorphosis. By 2014, it had already evolved into a nationwide beauty clinic chain. but Fadly’s ambition didn’t stop there.
Today, the ZAP Group comprises:
- 100+ clinics across Indonesia
- 2000+ employees, with 90% women powering the brand
- ZAP Premier, a premium aesthetics experience
- Menology, a dedicated men’s grooming clinic
- JUVA, a proprietary skincare line
Riding on this momentum, ZAP is no longer just a beauty brand; it is a full-fledged healthcare ecosystem in the making, with Fadly at its helm, architecting scalable beauty, systemic empowerment, and inclusive impact.
Why Gatekeep, When You Can Guide?
Many entrepreneurs hit milestones and turn inward. Fadly turned outward.
His ethos is simple: true success multiplies, it doesn’t monopolize.
"In Endeavor, I realized that the only way to build something bigger than yourself is to learn relentlessly and give selflessly."
Fadly Sahab
CEO & Founder of ZAP
Surrounded by mentors at Endeavor, from HR maestros to financial tacticians, he saw mentorship not as a privilege, but as a responsibility. And once he experienced it, he knew: he, too, must become a source of learning for others.
Mentorship as a Moral Compass
Fadly doesn’t offer generic advice. He shares battle-won wisdom.
From his early days meeting with a dermatology expert every week for two hours, to being mentored monthly by Bernd Waltermann, Endeavor Mentor and a supply chain savant residing in Germany, who was his Local Selection Panelist during his Endeavor Selection Process, Fadly has always been powered by the humility to learn.
He has since become the mentor he once sought. Whether guiding fellow Endeavor Entrepreneurs (EEs) during COVID through peer Zooms, or building deep, ongoing bonds across the EE network, his leadership is grounded in empathy, not ego
The Endeavor Effect: Dreaming Bigger, Scaling Faster
Endeavor didn’t just expand his knowledge; it expanded his reality.
Fadly’s selection journey took him from Indonesia to Milan, back in 2018, where he rubbed shoulders with global leaders on his International Selection Panel. It reprogrammed how he saw scale, growth, and what’s truly possible.
"Thanks to Endeavor, ZAP welcomed its first investor in 2023. That moment wasn’t luck; it was the outcome of dozens of mentor-led strategy sessions."
Even for his first crucial C-level hiring, Fadly leaned into the Endeavor network. One day, an Endeavor Mentor joined the interview process, not just to assist, but also to model how to assess top-level talent. Fadly shadowed the meeting, eager to learn the right way to do it. Because when you have access to world-class wisdom, success shouldn’t be left to chance.
The Art of Paying It Forward
To Fadly, paying it forward is a call for a greater purpose. It’s how you future-proof your impact. It’s how you build a legacy without borders.
Every mistake he once made, every hard-won lesson he’s digested, is now a story he shares — not to brag, but to light the path for others.
Fifteen years in the game, Fadly has seen enough to know that the real impact is helping others get further, faster.
A Call to the Next Generation
What does Fadly want for the rising entrepreneur?
To be unafraid. To be hungry. And most of all, to be open.
If Fadly had let skepticism win, he would’ve never flown to Milan, never met the mentors who changed his life, never helped shape others’ along the way. Endeavor showed him that being a founder doesn’t have to be lonely.
Success. Share It. Scale It. Repeat.
Fadly Sahab’s journey is far from over. But if there’s one truth he’s banking on, it’s this: when you build others up, you’re not just scaling impact; you’re shaping tomorrow.
In a world obsessed with competition, Fadly chooses collaboration. In an era of noise, he chooses substance. Every mentoring session, every founder he uplifts — it’s all part of a larger mission: to make success accessible, repeatable, and shared.
No gatekeeping. No ego. Just momentum, together.
