In this episode, I speak to Greg Murray, Co-Founder, and CEO of KOKO Networks based in Kenya
KOKO Networks is a venture-backed technology company operating in East Africa and India. KOKO networks build and deploy dense networks of cloud-connected "KOKO points" inside local corner stores, which serve as consumer access points for goods and services delivered in partnership with major suppliers. The first consumer solution is a liquid ethanol cooking fuel, which delivers significant cost savings and quality of life improvements in the multi-billion dollar market for urban cooking fuel.
