“AfriOne aims to democratize technology, by offering affordable innovations through our product offerings and removing barriers deterring the large scale adoption of advanced technologies in Nigeria - hence our motto ’AfriOne - One for Everyone’,” stated Hemang Kapur. “We showcase a wide range of feature-rich and technologically-loaded product lines, from dual sim-mobile phones to educational tablet PCs and even android smart watches”.
 
Sandeep Natu further noted that, “AfriOne presently generates employment for approximately 500 staff-members, collaborating in the enterprise’s vibrant, state-of-the-art product and testing laboratories. The organization has an installed capacity of 300,000 products per month via its world-class production facility, located in Lagos, Nigeria”.
