He is considered one of Persib's greatest coaches of all time. Aside from Persib, he has also coached Persikabo Bogor and the Indonesia national under-16 football team.
Indra Thohir was born in the Cigereleng area of Bandung on 7 July 1941, the son of Mr. Asik and Mrs. Omas. He completed his elementary and junior high school in Bandung, then continued his studies in the Academy of Physical Education, which was under the jurisdiction of the University of Indonesia. After graduating, he became a lecturer for his alma mater, which would eventually become the Indonesian University of Education's Faculty of Sports and Health Education (FPOK UPI).
Aside from being a lecturer for UPI, Thohir also coached the university's football team. Under his guidance, the team reached the national finals twice. They also represented Indonesia in the ASEAN University Games twice, in 1981 and 1982. In 1984, Thohir was hired by Persib Bandung to become the club's new fitness coach. As a member of the coaching staff, Thohir became part of the club's Perserikatan triumph in 1986 and 1990.
In 1990, Thohir was called by PSSI to become head coach of the Indonesia national under-16 team for the 1990 AFC U-16 Championship, held in the United Arab Emirates. After getting through the group stage, he managed to guide the team to finish in fourth place.
In 1993, Thohir was appointed as Persib Bandung's new head coach to guide through the last edition of Perserikatan. To do so, Thohir had the likes of Roy Darwis, Robby Darwis, Yusuf Bachtiar, Yudi Guntara, Asep Sumantri, and Dede Iskandar in his squad. Under his coaching, Persib won the title after beating PSM Makassar 2–0 in the final on 17 April 1994.
Ahead of the inaugural season of the Liga Indonesia Premier Division, Thohir was again trusted as the head coach by Persib. Despite being allowed to sign foreign players, the club kept trust on its local players. Persib started the competition with a loss, losing 1–0 to Pelita Jaya with the only goal scored by Yugoslav (now Montenegrin) striker Dejan Gluščević. As the season went on, Persib advanced to the second stage as runners-up of the West Division. In the second stage, Persib started with a goalless draw with Petrokimia Putra before wins against Medan Jaya and Assyabaab SGS saw Persib through to the semifinals as Group B winners. They would win their semifinal match against Barito Putera with the only goal scored by Kekey Zakaria. In the final, another meeting with Petrokimia Putra. With the Bobotoh supporting them, Persib won the title with a goal from Sutiono Lamso in the 76th minute. It was a proud moment for Thohir as he managed to win two titles in a row with local talents.
As champions of the Premier Division, Persib gained entry to the 1995 Asian Club Championship. They managed to reach the quarterfinals after beating Bangkok Bank and Pasay. Their campaign ended when they failed to qualify out of their quarterfinal group, finishing last behind Ilhwa Chunwa, Thai Farmers Bank, and Júbilo Iwata. Along the way, Thohir was named AFC Coach of the Month for September 1995. At the end of Persib's Asian campaign, Thohir resigned as head coach.
In 1996, Thohir became head coach of First Division side Persikabo Bogor. During his tenure, the club managed to gain promotion to the Premier Division after winning the third place match against Perseden Denpasar 4–0 on 24 July 1997.
