Mukesh Desai was only four when his father, in 1964, opened a small electronics shop along Grogan Road (now Kirinyaga Road) in Nairobi.
Today, the duka that mostly sold light bulbs and electrical wires has changed address to the Parklands suburb and diversified its product offerings to include flooring materials, kitchenware, lighting accessories and fittings such as chandeliers.
