Our Story

Our History.

KAPI was founded in 2022 with the establishment of KAPI Africa Limited, the Group's first business and the foundation of what has grown into a diversified business platform. From the beginning, KAPI Africa was built with a clear focus on real estate and long-term value investments, reflecting the Group's commitment to creating enduring assets and sustainable growth.

Between 2024 and 2025, KAPI entered a new phase of expansion — establishing KAPI Energies for energy trading, KAPI Tech for technology and innovation, and becoming a strategic shareholder in AEL Limited for financial services and insurance.

KAPI also formed a partnership with Infinity Star (T) Limited to pursue large-scale opportunities in agribusiness, focused on sisal estates, sisal cultivation, and the production of sisal fibre as a sustainable alternative to plastic-based materials.
