BIG GROUP, Spearheading Ventures and Building Insights around the Technology, Media & Telecom Space. Lead by Magnates with more than 15 years experience.
For more than 15 years, our core people have been at the forefront of spearheading ventures in the ever-evolving technology, media, and telecom space. Our journey has been guided by visionary leaders with a wealth of experience, always committed to the values that power the world. From thinking big, and being bold to breaking boundaries the Big Group goes where others are reluctant to go.
From the early 2000s, we embarked on a mission that would set the tone for our pioneering spirit. We delved into web hosting and servers, stepping into the industry’s nascent stage when others were still hesitating. This daring move laid the foundation for our legacy of innovation and always being at the frontier. We stay agile, digging deep into what is needed at the time and getting stuck in the mud to find the hidden secrets that lead to success.
In 2003 and 2004, we ventured into the VOIP industry, becoming one of the first providers to offer online calling cards in the US, Canada, and the UK – pioneering the industry. But what truly set us apart was our innovation – we introduced caller ID authentication, eliminating the need to punch a unique pin on the card. We were not just followers; we were industry trailblazers. Our precedent to deliver impact and concise results can be viewed across our Big Ventures and Big Brands.
The year 2005 marked another milestone as we became one of the first to offer end-to-end SIP/VOIP services in Africa. Our commitment to breaking new ground was unwavering, and it solidified our position as a leader in the ever-expanding telecom landscape. And In 2006, we rolled out a groundbreaking network in Tanzania, further establishing our reputation as corporate internet connectivity providers. Our tenacity and relentless pursuit of excellence made us leaders in this field.
Fast forward to 2013 in Silicon Valley, we were at it again, engaging right at the industry’s frontier. We made the Decisive decision NOT to embark in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, despite the prevailing hype about the industry’s maturity (we bet against it as recognized the hardware hadn’t evolve to support such an endeavor) . Today, we see that our foresight as AI has just begun to revolutionize the world after 10 years.
In the same year 2013, while the entire continent of Africa was hesitant about the satellite industry due to the arrival of undersea fiber optic connectivity, we chose a different path. We bet against the odds and took on the challenge of satellite capacity and satellite TV roll-out over Africa and beyond. We predicted the demand for even more satellites in Space. The tenacity of this project made industry giants uncomfortable, to the extent that they resorted to extreme measures to halt our progress in Canada. Yet, we remained unyielding, pushing boundaries beyond reasonable means.
As we reflect on our journey, we conclude by affirming our unwavering commitment to playing in the new frontiers of today’s ever-evolving industries. We haven’t lost our pioneering spirit, and we are determined to continue shaping the future.
Our ethos and values remain resolute, as we stand firm at the industry’s cutting edge. We are committed to remembering values, making a difference and always considering people and principles before profit. By placing people and their needs at the centre of our Big brand, we think about what is needed from every angle. Most importantly, our versatility, innovation and human-led focus mean that we have fun in every Quest we partake in. We’re adherent to take big risks, and the outcomes give us the confidence and energy to do it again.
Lets do this again…!!!
