This week I had the absolute pleasure of bumping into Richard Charlie. Richard Charlie is your go to guy for understanding the township and why Corporates fail to unlock the value in the informal sector. He is currently the Route to Market specialist for a large multinational in the fortune 500. I really enjoyed chatting with Richard where he dropped many gems. 

In this insightful episode we speak about :

- How big the informal market is & why our government doesn’t embrace it where other African countries clearly promote their informal sector. 

- What big corporates get wrong about the informal market

- How corporate can win in the informal market. 

- Which big players are actually doing well in the informal market.  

- What is exactly digitizing the informal market. 

And As always we go deep. 

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. As always if this episode adds any value or you think someone in corporate, small business or even a friend who wants to expand their knowledge on the informal sector, please do share and comment and tag them. 

Stay Safe and continue to light up the dark my friends.
