About this conversation
What if the future of electric vehicles wasn’t built in Silicon Valley but in Nairobi traffic?
When we first sat down, BasiGo had just 2 buses. Today? Over 100 electric buses. Across borders. Scaling fast. But this isn’t just a business story.
Moses Nderitu doesn’t just lead a company, he is riding across Africa on a motorbike asking one question, “What kind of continent are we building?”
