Our Journey
From a simple idea to Kenya's growing digital platform
The Beginning
Concept & Research Phase
Shopika started as a research project understanding the digital divide in Kenya. We spent months talking to small business owners, chemists, water suppliers, and retailers to understand their real challenges.
Platform Launch
Airtime & Bundles Services
Launched our core connectivity services: airtime for all networks, Safaricom bundles, and airtime-to-cash conversion. Started with USSD service (*384*4444#) to reach users without internet access.
Growth & Expansion
Scaling Across Kenya
Expanded services to cover major cities in Kenya. Introduced business partnerships and began developing our business tools platform. Reached milestone of 75,000+ satisfied customers.
Business Platform
Launching Business Tools
Currently building our comprehensive business platform featuring POS systems, online ordering, and delivery management tools. Starting with chemists/pharmacies as our first vertical, with plans to expand to gas/water suppliers and retail shops.
