AEA: What motivated you to start your own company?
JK: The idea of starting up my own company started building up in me when I registered for my Masters in Business Administration. As I did the different modules, I realized that my position in the organization I worked for did not necessarily allow me to use some of those skills. So I thought, if I have my own company, I will be able to apply some of the concepts better. Things like innovation as part of Entrepreneurship, Market Research, basic accounting/ bookkeeping and many more. Then the idea of registering my own company was born and became a reality in May 2012.
