Genese Solution Launches in Nigeria
The event drew an esteemed gathering of Nigerian industry leaders, IT experts, and community figures, highlighting the strategic importance of this expansion.
Speaking at the event, the DBT Country Director expressed pride in Genese Solution’s growth. “We are delighted to celebrate Genese Solution’s expansion into Lagos, marking their 10th overseas market.
The UK technology sector is a global success story, and in June 2023, we became the third country in the world to see our tech sector valued at over $1 trillion. The UK is home to 150 unicorn companies, more than Germany, France, and Sweden combined. We welcome Genese Solution’s contribution to Nigeria’s booming tech sector.”
Mr. Anjani Phuyal, Founder and CEO of Genese Solution, expressed his excitement about the company’s new Lagos branch. “This is our first office in Africa, and we plan to expand into other countries in the region soon. With our focus on providing advanced cloud solutions and driving digital transformation, we aim to make a meaningful impact on Nigeria’s growing IT sector. We’re also eager to leverage our cybersecurity expertise to support our clients in Nigeria and beyond.”
Phuyal continued, “We recognize the immense potential of Nigeria’s dynamic tech sector and are committed to harnessing the country’s supportive environment to deliver innovative, tailored solutions that meet evolving market needs. Our decision to launch in Lagos aligns with Nigeria’s National Digital Economy Policy, which prioritizes the use of digital technology for economic diversification. In addition to offering value IT consulting, we will support key policy pillars by collaborating locally and staying informed on Nigeria’s dynamic digital economy.” Mr. Phuyal extended his gratitude to the British Deputy High Commission (DBT) in Lagos and everyone who supported the company’s journey into Nigeria.
As Africa’s largest ICT market and a premier tech hub, Nigeria presents vast opportunities for collaboration and growth. With global cloud providers expanding into emerging markets, Nigeria is well-positioned to drive technological innovation.
At the event, Mr. Niranjan Kunwar, Chief Technology and Information Security Officer of Genese Solution emphasized the need to treat cybersecurity as a critical business risk, not just an IT issue. He stressed the importance of proactive cybersecurity management for long-term business success in today’s digital landscape.
“Information and communication technologies are key to modernizing and accelerating Nigeria’s economic development. With experience working with stakeholders globally, Genese Solution is here to support Nigeria’s digital transformation.” Kunwar also thanked the DBT and the British Deputy High Commission for facilitating the opportunity to engage with Nigeria’s business community.
