Show notes

Quote - “What I like the most about building in Africa and building for Africa is that everything is so greenfield.” The Afropolitan Podcast spotlights Afropolitans who aren’t afraid to step into the unknown and walk in purpose. With this podcast we hope to empower Africans in the Diaspora to harness their full potential and contribute to the development of a bold and progressive black community. Our guests will share their working formulas, the hard facts about leaving familiar terrain, embracing the unknown, and staying relevant afterwards. This episode features Nadayar Enegesi, CEO and Co-Founder of Eden Life Inc.; a tech-driven home management platform in Africa providing services such as food, laundry and cleaning. Nadayar is a graduate from University of Waterloo in Canada and has previous experience at Fora Inc. and Andela before transitioning to Eden Life Inc.. He is passionate about upgrading the home lifestyle and bridging the gap between service providers and service demanders through tech.
