Late. Muljibhai Madhvani
Uganda
Muljibhai Madhvani was born in a Gujarati Lohana caste. He migrated to Uganda in 1908, two years after his older brother's emigration. In 1911, at age 17, he began working for his uncles, Vithaldas and Kalidas, in a retail business in Iganga.
Muljibhai Madhvani founded Uganda's Kakira Sugar Works in 1930. He also acquired Nile Breweries, which was divested to South African Breweries in 2002. As his business flourished, he was keen to take care of the well-being and welfare of his employees.
