Anil A. Email & Phone Number

As a seasoned professional with over two decades of experience, I have built, scaled, and exited businesses across Africa and beyond, living and working in over 20 countries. This global exposure has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of diverse cultures and lead teams effectively in complex and dynamic environments.My entrepreneurial journey began in 2005 when I founded one of Toronto’s first restaurant delivery services—long before “startup” became a buzzword. Since then, I have remained ahead of the curve, anticipating trends and turning challenges into opportunities. My professional path spans startups, manufacturing, FMCG, renewable energy, agro-allied, construction, and private equity, where I’ve driven multiple successful exits.Currently, I am a Partner at Antler Africa, shaping the next generation of entrepreneurs across the continent. In this role, I leverage Antler’s global platform to support high-potential individuals from day zero, with a unique focus on tech and tech-light innovations.I take pride in my hands-on approach, offering operational guidance and strategic insights to startups and funds. Notably, I’ve supported Jumia, Africa’s first unicorn, and over 100 other transformative ventures in my time at Kreem that are reshaping industries across the region. Africa’s youthful, innovative population and increasing digital connectivity inspire my work. I believe in harnessing these strengths to create impactful businesses that address local challenges while scaling globally.If you’re seeking a dynamic leader with a proven track record in building and growing impactful businesses, I’d love to connect.
