## About

Based in Nairobi, Kenya, and founded in 2021 by co-founders Rishabh Lawania and Keshu Dubey, E-comm Ventures Inc. Ltd., trading under the name Badili Africa, operates as a re-commerce company that develops a platform for online buy-and-sell for used and new smartphones. In March 2025, Badili Africa raised USD 400,000 in venture debt funding from Proparco. Badili Africa offers products and services. All phones undergo rigorous testing and come with a 12-month warranty, ensuring their functionality and reliability. Additionally, the firm provides repair services, allowing customers to visit our physical stores for all their smartphone needs. By enabling customers to sell their devices back to Badili after the warranty period, the company promotes a sustainable approach to consumer electronics and contributes to reducing e-waste.
