I had the opportunity to have an in-depth conversation with Farouk Ramji who is Mawingu Network's CEO in early October 2022 on a number of different aspects of where Mawingu Networks is today as an ISP business and their plans going forward.
What surprised me is that Mawingu Networks has become a dominant and successful ISP for unlimited Internet in unconventional markets such as Wajir and Nanyuki for its high-quality offerings that are normally delivered wirelessly using mature technologies that actually work well and are easy as well as cost-effective to deploy.
Farouk also shared that Mawingu Networks is currently in the process of raising a substantial funding round that will enable it to expand further and deeper into other underserved markets for unlimited and affordable Internet access throughout Kenya using a 'flanking' greenfield strategy as opposed to targeting well-established markets like Nairobi or Mombasa.
Mawingu Networks is steadily building up a formidable position by becoming the de facto ISP for consumers and in particular small and medium-sized businesses or SMEs for its offerings in hitherto markets that have been traditionally seen as being too small for other ISPs in Kenya. Have a listen and I hope you enjoy our chat!
