Technology company Little plans to build an office building at the cost of up to Sh717.4 million ($6 million) amid its expansion that has necessitated hiring more people.
This will see the company launched six years ago exit from one floor rented from a three-storey-block owned by the parent company’s Craft Silicon on Waiyaki Way in Westlands, Nairobi.
The establishment of the commercial building comes amid a hiring process and expansion by the two companies.
“We want to have a big building for Little. This place is becoming congested and we are getting another 20 to 30 people in the course of September and there is not enough space,” said Little chief executive and founder of Craft Silicon, Kamal Budhabhatti.
“We want to continue growing in terms of the number of services we have. This space is getting smaller for us. Craft is also hiring and is looking for space. Additional space and retaining a culture of a conducive place like here (Craft) will help us scale up.”
The commercial building will be constructed on Little’s owned land along Kabasiran Avenue in Lavington and is expected to start next year. – Business Daily
