Manoj Shah, an agrochemicals entrepreneur, has built a business from scratch, growing it into a Sh3 billion-turnover manufacturer, and when asked about the secret of all this success he says, “Oh, I can’t exactly box the secret. What I know is that it takes more than hard work to succeed. It takes a good team to rise to the top. For me, the path to success is built on people. When your entity is people-driven, you get to the top easily and faster. I also know that success comes from taking opportunities as they come."
The entrepreneur started Osho Chemicals Industries, located in Nairobi's Industrial Area, 30 years ago after quitting his job. He invested Sh2 million from his savings. At the time, Osho Chemicals imported pre-packed chemicals and supplied them to their clients that were mostly State-owned and mainly serviced the textile industry.
