Below is what he says in the clip above with English translations.

Mumtaz: Selamat siang, pak Anies. (Good afternoon, Mr. Anies.)

Najwa: Selamat sore. (It's late afternoon.)

Mumtaz: Ee, selamat sore. Perkenalkan. Perkenalkan, nama saya Mumtaz dari Fakultas Ekonomika dan Bisnis. Jurusan Manajemen. (Good late afternoon. Let me introduce myself. My name is Mumtaz from the Faculty of Economics and Business—majoring in Management.)

At first, Mumtaz said [selamat siang], and then Najwa corrected him, saying [selamat sore]. That's why he then says [selamat sore] to correct his incorrect greetings.

Vocabulary From the Clip

[Pak] is an honorific title to address a male person. It's like mister in English. For more about this, you can read my article, Pak Meaning In Indonesian.

[Perkenalkan] is a word you use when you want to introduce yourself. It is usually followed by saying your name and where you are from.
