This is the Interview I had with Oscar Pierre, the CEO of Glovo when he visited Kenya for the first time on Monday the 7th June 2021. Glovo is on an aggressive expansion plan for Africa in 2021 with Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Morocco all operational and markets like Nigeria coming soon.

The on-demand delivery app, and service launched in Kenya almost 3 years ago. Glovo is a massive business globally with operations in Europe and increasingly in Africa. The business started out in Spain in 2015 and expanded quickly to Europe and thereafter to Latin America which they recently exited.

Glovo has around 10 million customers globally as of the writing. Glovo as a business has also been raising major funding rounds with a Series F of $528 million (€450 million) in April 2021. The business is now valued at over US$ 2 Billion on this basis and is expanding fast! Here is what Oscar and I discussed when we met for lunch with the broader Glovo team
