Hary was born in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia, on 26 September 1965, the son of local businessman Mr. Tanoesoedibjo. He is the youngest of six siblings. After finishing high school, he studied at Carleton University with his siblings and cousins in Canada. In 1988, he gained a bachelor of commerce, then master's of business administration, completed in 1989 at the University of Ottawa. Hary married and they have five children, the only son being Warren Haryputra Tanoesoedibjo.
Hary established PT.MNC Investama in Surabaya on 2 November 1989 and moved its headquarters to Jakarta in 1990. It has become one of Indonesia's leading investment companies with a scope of operations spanning media, financial services, energy and natural resources as well as portfolio investments.
The company was initially named PT Bhakti Investments (later changed to PT Bhakti Investama Tbk) and focused primarily on capital market-related activities. The Indonesian government, which was in the 1980s and early 1990s still pursuing a deregulation policy, provided a number of facilities to boost Indonesia’s capital market.
The company’s relocation to Jakarta in February 1990 brought greater opportunities to develop the business in line with the evolving capital market. In 1994, the company expanded the scope of its business to include securities trading and brokerage, investment management, underwriting, origination and syndication, financial advisory and research services, as well as mergers and acquisitions, followed by the launch of mutual fund products. The company listed its stock on the Jakarta Stock Exchange and the Surabaya Stock Exchange (later merged into the Indonesia Stock Exchange) through an Initial Public Offering in 1997.
