About

Ae mentioned I am an Indian but born and brought up in Kenya. From the Early days Education and Family run businesses where the main focus. Having the knowledge in Garments, Plastics, manufacturing, Retail and Wholesale Business the main focus was always to find the market. Hence in Year 2010 we started Sokoni Foods in Bulgaria. A store with over 1600products with Food and Drinks and over 200 products when it comes to Indian fashion and crafts. But before 2010 we have had real estate agency which is still working since 2006 in Bulgaria. From 1999 onwards Food Business in UK where Eastern European Food is at a high demand. Before 1999 Kenya and surrounding countries where everything is green so long as your eyes can see. Past Experience in Garments, Plastic injection and blow moulding, Trucks and Transport, Food and food milling, Fertilizers import and supply, Supermarket and Retail store dealing in clothings, Shoes, Food, Houseware, Hardware etc has opened many doors and the way we think today is all good family practise. With over 125 Family members who have always been there to help when needed it makes a difference in the business. Today in 2017 with many partners in Africa, Asia and Europe we can deliver any product or help market any company their products where one cannot dream off. There is nothing impossible so talk to us and find out if we can help you in any way.
Interests: Extreme Sports and business

My expat journey

indiakenyaenglandbulgaria
Varna, Bulgaria

Since Apr 2005

Varna, Bulgaria

Bulgaria is a country which is still up and coming and very virgin since it is only a 20year old Country from my stand of view... It has to learn a lot and if someone has the right reason and projection can make this country his/her home country to succeed in life
Investor, Property Agent, Trader in commodities.
The nature, the weather, the local thinking
When the locals are faced with a question and the first reaction is always a NO or negative... Start to think it is possible and I will get to the bottom of it will help you achieve a lot in life

London, England, England

United kingdom or Great Britain is a country which has taught many how to conquer the inner self and how to achieve success in life. Having come to UK with a small saving from Kenya it is hard to start a new life but as mentioned before there is nothing impossible once you have lived and worked in Kenya and with that education and up bringing the challenges in UK is all in Black and white as everything and every law is very clear.
Learning new ventures and starting my own Electrical company and later a full flagged Property renovation business was the best thing to do in UK before finding a better country with more sunshine and less hours to put on the road.
The clear rules of everything and how easy they are to adopt if you know English.
The time it takes to travel from one place to the other since the road, public transport it all full no matter what time you are traveling.

Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya

Kenya will always be called my home together with India since My grandparents came from India but from my parents we are all born in Kenya. Education was always good in Kenya so was social life.
Student life and early business start up was all from this Great Country of Kenya.
Everything from the negative things which happened there to all the positive things since without the negative things one cannot appreciate the life to know what there is to live a complete life
As mentioned before there is nothing to like or dislike since that is just ones opinion and so stop comparing and judging things and learn to accept it as they are and move on when things stop turning your way
