Khalif Kairo, a young entrepreneur, has reflected on his strides a year after starting his car import business.

Why did Khalif Kairo start new business?

He was part of the Imports by Kairo business but was pushed out by former partners.

However, Khalif picked up and started the Kai and Karo company, which witnessed immense growth.

The businessman started the company to import vehicle parts, before venturing into importing cars.

On Tuesday, August 22, Khalif shared a message he sent his mother a year ago, asking for financial help.

"Hi mum, I am starting my spare parts business, and I need a loan from you. I want to go to Dubai this coming weekend.

Can you support me with approximately KSh 100,000?” the WhatsApp message read.

Khalif also shared the new company’s logo with his mother.

In the caption, he testified about seeing God’s hand in his success.

“Exactly one year ago, after massive frustration pale Diamond Plaza from partners and teetering on the edge of depression, I approached my mum for fare money to go to Dubai to start a “side-hustle” called Kai and Karo.

As I look back, I can’t cease to marvel at this GOD,” he wrote.
