About

Vision- Action = Daydreaming ... I take your vision and help you turn it into a reality Linkedin : http://za.linkedin.com/in/mifonealpeshpatel888 Twitter : @MiAlpesh

Born in the Ugandan jungle while his parents were there on safari, Mi- Fone's CEO and Founder is the true meaning of "Indian Blood...African Heart". This original African Indian Entrepreneur made a name for himself selling large volumes of Mobile devices to the Chinese back in the 90s.
In 2008 Alpesh founded Mi-Fone the FIRST AFRICAN Mobile Devices brand and one of Africa’s first Tech start ups . Prior to Mi Fone , Alpesh was Director of Sales Africa/Middle East for Motorola Inc.Betweeen 2002-2006 Alpesh placed more than 5m devices into the African continent generating revenues upwards of $500m. Whilst at Motorola he realized that the big brands were missing the point and that ultimately Africa was best served by Africans themselves. His 20 years of experience in the mobile business is not to be taken lightly, and he is well respected on the African continent for his knowledge. He is known to be one of the hardest working people in the African Tech space and is often quoted as "An Innovator, a Disruptor and a true Visionary" . Alpesh and the Mi Fone brand have been regularly featured on CNN , Forbes Africa, CNBC Africa and numerous other press . Mi-Fone a completely bootstrapped operation has also been the recipient of the Frost & Sullivan 2014 award for "Entrepreneurial company of the Year " as well as a finalist in the African Leadership Network Awards 2015 . www.mi-fone.mobi
