KEY TAKEAWAYS

One of the main challenges in working in developing countries is maintaining sustainability and managing local communities.
When the job gets too broad it can mean that our talents are spread too thin. It's always best to focus on the niche we can do better than anyone else.
Sometimes, gaps in the market can become the niches of companies. They fill the gaps and become known for that very thing.
Makuri would love to work with design and procurement companies, in order to introduce better technology from day one, but the bidding wars always seem to win out.

BEST MOMENTS
'I had a fairly steep learning curve'
'Sustainability of the operation was very difficult'
'I looked for a niche that i could do, and do well'
'There are always gaps in the market'
