In 2018, while working at SIL Chemicals Limited, I met the Managing Director of WaterForce Africa Limited, my brother, Mr. Shivanand Poojari . He visited our office to promote his company’s services, specializing in water treatment for industries and institutions. We exchanged contacts and kept in touch regularly, a relationship that flourished and eventually led to a business partnership years later.

After making adjustments at Rednet Technologies (Tanzania), I began sharing insights, updates, and our ICT services through LinkedIn and WhatsApp Status. Most of our prospects and clients, including Mr. Shivanand, started noticing our work and realized that his company, Waterforce Africa, needed significant improvements in its digital presence. Eventually, in 2023, we started to work together at Waterforce Africa to strengthen its digital presence and improve its daily activities through ICT.
