I Putu Merta was born in Tangkup Village on March 28, 2001. He lives in Tangkup Anyar Village, Tangkup Hamlet, Sidemen District, Karangasem Regency, Bali Province. I Putu Merta or often called Putu came from the couple I Ketut Gemuh with Ni Komang Lanis. He has one younger brother named I Kadek Suka. Putu likes to read and watch TV during elementary school. His favorite food is spicy sweet tempeh and his favorite color is blue.

When Putu first entered TK Lila Kumara Sari he felt confused for the first time. he entered TK for free through government assistance at that time. Kindergarten is a very pleasant time because you can play with new friends. He learned to color, count, and sing. It was a happy time for him.

When Putu first entered SD Negeri 2 Tangkup (now changed to SD Negeri 1 Tangkup) he felt very happy and rather shy because he met many new friends. He is a diligent child at school. Every time there is free time he always jokes with his friends. Every teacher's order is done as best he can. every time he always walked a distance of about 2 km with hilly terrain. When going home from school is the time he was waiting for. He returned home with his friend from the hilly area too. It was then that he could walk around the hills in search of fallen coconuts and guava fruit that grew wild. The coconut that has been obtained will be sold while the fruit is eaten together. This activity he often does to increase pocket money. Because every day he was given a thousand rupiah stock and sometimes not at all when he was in elementary school. So, he decided to look for fruit around the path or just bring a bottle of water.

When at home he only helps parents in finding firewood and looking for grass for cattle or in Balinese terms it is called ngarit. because he lived in the hills he bathed and looked for water in the river Tukad Unda. Every time bathing Putu must bring a jerry can of water from the river to the house for a distance of 3 km with hilly terrain on foot with his family. Because of the distance from the home of a distant school friend, he decided to stay at his own home or watch a 12-inch tube TV with his sister. Although often feeling bored alone at home because they rarely meet classmates, he decides to help with activities at home. when elementary school Putu was not a smart person. Putu always gets an intermediate rating from grade 1 to grade 5. However, Putu did not expect that he would get ranked 2 when announcing the graduation of grade 6 students. He was happy and happy. he did not expect he to get second place at that time.

After graduating from elementary school he went on to Sidemen 3 Public Middle School. He feels that he can get the highest rank in the class. during junior high school was a challenging time for Putu. All of his friends come from other villages. Which makes Putu's learning motivation increase. And indeed it happened that he always got rank 1 in class B at that time. He and his classmates are always together everywhere going to school. even the teacher said class B was the most prominent class at that time. Where each activity is definitely the most compact class B carrying out various activities. However, there were also a number of friends who had problems because of something. The homeroom teacher nicknamed the bumpy class because, in one class there were naughty, calm, smart, lazy, joined the Student Council, PKS, high, short, and many more. Putu is very happy with the diversity of characters in one class. He was very happy and happy when the achievement of each semester was very satisfying which where he got the highest score of the UN. At grade 9 he enrolled in the Bali Mandara State Vocational School located on Air Sanih Street, Kubutambahan Village, Kubutambahan District, Bali Province and he chose the TKR department. Because he thinks with school there can ease the burden of parents and can work directly in an industry to realize his dream of becoming a big entrepreneur.

Before that, he had to go through the PPDB process first. In participating in the PPDB process he was very excited starting from the paper base to bootcamp. And he was unexpectedly accepted to attend a BALI MANDARA VOCATIONAL SCHOOL with a Light Vehicle Engineering major. He was very happy because he was accepted to attend school there. Many friends from various regions he met. While there he must follow various rules in the dormitory or at school. And unexpectedly Putu has a similar name with his classmates which makes it difficult to be called. So he decided to change his nickname to PM, which stands for Putu Merta for a while. Even though he has just attended BALI MANDARA VOCATIONAL SCHOOL, he can also participate in various activities such as road racing, innovative kecak, and others. Daily activities in the hostel are different from at home because everything is scheduled. From morning to night there are many activities. Because of the intense activity in the school he must manage time well. PM gets friends in majors where the character is similar to middle school. This makes the PM always happy even though it is far from home. Moreover, the teachers there are very motivating and want their students to move forward. And one day when he finished school at the Bali Mandara Vocational School he wanted to realize his dream of becoming a great workshop entrepreneur from the others besides that he wanted to make his parents happy at home.
