A fantastic morning in New Delhi, where we co-hosted the Pharmaceutical Roundtable with IFC World Bank, CII, and our partners, bringing together top players from both the public and private sectors to advance pharmaceutical investment in Kenya. With 30+ manufacturers, 20,000 jobs, and 9–12% annual growth, Kenya’s pharmaceutical sector is strong but with 70% of our pharmaceuticals still imported is a massive opportunity. Alongside the High Commission, the Pharmacy and Poisons Board and @InvestKenya_ , we delivered a clear message: Kenya’s pharmaceutical sector is ready for deeper collaboration and expanded investment. We engaged in rich presentations showcasing opportunities within our ecosystem. I highlighted emerging prospects for investment in Kenya while @FollowCII shared insights from India’s robust pharma landscape. @ppbkenya reinforced Kenya’s strong, investor-friendly regulatory framework as the @IFC_org outlined its support for sector investments. An interactive session followed with @IndiaEximBank , @AriseIIP , @epzakenya , and @KCBInKenya , each expressing strong interest in establishing or expanding operations in Kenya. We closed with a shared commitment to strengthen partnerships, align regulatory systems, and accelerate investment across the value chain. #InvestInKenya

What a strong and inspiring start to the Kenya–India Investment Roadshow in New Delhi! 🇮🇳🇰🇪 We opened with the Kenya Investment Forum at Aloft by JW Marriott, where I had the opportunity to walk investors through Kenya’s vibrant investment landscape - from our strategic position and expanding market access to bold reforms and fast-growing sectors. It was an honour to have Amb. Peter Munyiri with us, reinforcing the deepening partnership and shared ambitions between Kenya and India. @KenyaDelhi Ms. @SallyMahihu , Chair of the @InvestKenya_ Board, outlined our national development agenda and key bilateral priorities, while inviting investors to KIICO 2026, which will also host the COMESA Investment Forum and the Africa Green Industrialization Initiative Forum, positioning Kenya as a continental investment hub. A big thank you to Mr. George Olaka, CEO of @AriseIIP Kenya, for showcasing how they are helping drive industrial growth, strengthen competitiveness, and support Kenya’s economic transformation. From India’s side, Mr. Himar Arjun Singh @FollowCII highlighted Kenya’s strategic importance for future-focused investment, especially in AI, tech innovation, startups, and education partnerships. We were equally inspired by Dr. Bimal Kantaria, whose personal story as a successful investor in Kenya brought to life the real opportunities and long-term value our country continues to deliver. #InvestInKenya @IndiainKenya @Indiakenyabc
