Viswanath Pallasena, CEO, Redington Middle East and Africa, said, “The Vertical by Redington serves as a vivid showcase of the remarkable potential that technology holds to catalyze transformative changes across various industries. By harnessing the power of cutting-edge advancements, this initiative exemplifies how technology can not only bring about positive revolutions but also lead industries toward enhanced efficiency, innovation, and overall progress. We will have the next edition in Angola soon, and it promises to be a noteworthy event. We look forward to expanding the event on an even grander scale in the coming months.”
‘The Vertical by Redington’ in Kenya, the Vertical’s Chapter 4 in Kenya re-defined industry outcomes in the BFSI and SACCOs sectors. Prominent speakers shared insights on cutting-edge solutions that took center stage, illustrating how technology fuels growth and elevates customer experiences. Dynamic discussions spanned regulatory landscapes, sustainability, and beyond, at the event.
The keynote address by Patrick Kiburi Kilemi, Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Co-operatives and MSMEs Development, was well-received and enriched the event with governmental perspectives. He highlighted that as digital transformation becomes a mandate for all industries, efficiency accessibility and innovation are becoming key elements in digital strategies, even more so in the BFSI and SACCOs sectors.
Kilemi said, “Initiatives like the Hustler Fund are made possible by existing platforms such as M-Pesa and KCB. These facilitate seamless financial interactions for more than 22 million Kenyans. An astounding 7 million Kenyans borrow and repay daily through the Hustler Fund with technology playing a pivotal role in determining borrowing limits. The potential harboured by technology and innovation is nothing short of enormous, leaving us to ponder where the realm of IT will lead us.”
