How did Naspers become so incredibly successful? Fahd Beg, Chief Investment Officer at Naspers, and Marco Rodzynek discuss this enormous success. The internet group started in South Africa and is now one of the largest technology investors in the world. "We are an operator and an investor at the same time", explains Beg what lies behind Naspers.
The food sector is a fundamental part of their business - what is their vision for the future in this sector? "It is a massive opportunity", says Beg. But this comes with new problems, like too much waste in the way food is delivered - and new solutions are needed. Payments, also part of their business, are especially important in India. Broadening the ecosystem there lies in the focus of Naspers. "We are a thematic investor", explains Beg. "If you are looking for funding, have a look at our areas of expertise, and the contact us - we are open for new investments and new ideas."
