About Us - Karani

We work with businesses, teams, and entrepreneurs to design and implement strength-based and human-centred interventions that shape successful leaders.

Karani is a leading consultancy organisation with the aim to find and support high-potential individuals – and through this, to build thriving wealth systems that contribute to sustainable African development. We engage the next generation of African leaders and businesses to design and implement strength-based and human-centred interventions that effectively build successful leaders.

Our work is spread nationally, continentally, and internationally, giving us a strong understanding of both local imperatives and international practice. We have worked with big intergenerational and intercultural businesses, entrepreneurial incubators, and international non-profits to promote talent, grow businesses, and apply leadership principles to increase performance and impact.

Meet the founder, Nizenande Machi

Karani was founded in 2016 by Nizenande Machi with the goal to equip African professionals and entrepreneurs with the tools to thrive.

“My primary aim in life is to be free, and to lead others to their own freedom. Freedom of choice, freedom of movement, thought, speech and prosperity. Free to grow in spirit, be strengthened in joy and to labour in love. That’s why I use my agency to capacitate people to do exactly that.” Nizenade Machi
