About Kavisol

Vishal Chopra

Founder

Vishal Chopra has lived and worked in Nairobi for over a decade, helping Indian enterprises establish and grow their business in East Africa. Over that time he has built strong, trusted relationships with the CEOs and Managing Directors of leading local enterprises, the kind of connections any new business needs to build a solid base. For one Indian technology client, Kavisol's market research and business development took sales from zero to over USD 5 million in five years, with steady growth across Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Together, we are now expanding into Ethiopia, Rwanda, West Africa and South Africa.

Kavisol brings the same focus to more Indian companies. Beyond research and introductions, we help you get established on the ground, from setting up your local office to getting operations started. You work with someone who knows both markets, understands both business cultures, and can represent you credibly from the very first meeting. We work from Vadodara in India and Nairobi in Kenya.
