The opportunities and challenges of making affordable socks in Kenya
Manage episode 247537584 series 2448887
This week we're talking with two friends who have set up a business making socks in Kenya.
Both Vidyesh and Bishell grew up in Nairobi to entrepreneurial families, and after education in the UK returned home to begin a business.
They are also friends with Sumit, who featured in the board game cafe episode.
Vidyesh and Bishell decided on socks, as they felt there was a gap in the market and that by starting with a relatively discrete market (school socks) they could grow the business.
It's a very interesting conversation that goes through the practicalities of building a manufacturing company in Kenya.
One of the challenges they state is, for example, the high cost of electricity, and its unreliability, but also the opportunities that come from getting a loyal customer base in an emerging economy.
