With a resounding commitment to nurturing the growth of local Nigerian businesses, Avinash Nichkawde, the visionary Chief Executive Officer and founder of AN Global Consulting shared an ambitious vision during the company’s official media parley in Nigeria. The event, held at the Marriot Hotel in Ikeja, Lagos, gathered key stakeholders including members of the Nigerian executive team, traditional rulers from Lagos State, and other prominent media organizations.
Nichkawde’s words echoed the pulse of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) nationwide as he proclaimed, “We plan to take small Nigerian businesses overseas.” This profound statement encapsulated the heart of AN Global Consulting’s mission: to propel local businesses onto the international stage.
During the parley, Nichkawde unveiled the multifaceted objectives that AN Global Consulting aims to achieve. Beyond venturing abroad, he highlighted the intrinsic desire to nurture the portfolios of small businesses and ignite their expansion through overseas ventures. “We are looking to help small businesses grow their business portfolio and see taking them overseas as a positive way to help grow these businesses,” he emphasized.
Drawing on the company’s established success in countries such as Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Mexico, and beyond, Nichkawde showcased the substantial value AN Global Consulting has added to diverse markets globally. He acknowledged the challenges faced by SMEs in Nigeria and reiterated the company’s unwavering commitment to comprehending the local business landscape and augmenting its value proposition.
The core thrust of AN Global’s strategy is encapsulated in Nichkawde’s assertion, “AN Global plans to help local businesses unlock their potential.” This sentiment resonates through its meticulously curated seven value propositions, meticulously outlined by CEO Nwali Tochukwu. These encompass pivotal areas including business brokerage, franchise sales and development, international business consulting, technology, education, business migration, and trade and investment.
Nichkawde acknowledged the hurdles that often plague SMEs in Nigeria, encompassing regulatory bottlenecks and foreign exchange fluctuations. However, the profound potential embedded within these businesses fuels AN Global’s passion to collaborate and broaden its horizons beyond Nigeria’s borders. Notably, the global CEO articulated plans to not only propel local companies abroad but also usher businesses from the nine other countries where AN Global holds a legal presence into Nigeria.
Intriguingly, the reciprocal nature of this endeavor is encapsulated in Nichkawde’s vision: “The good companies in Nigeria, we want to take them abroad and bring the successful businesses in the USA down to Nigeria.”
With seasoned expertise at their disposal, SMEs in Nigeria stand to benefit immensely. Tochukwu articulated how AN Global Consulting’s wealth of experience could be leveraged for the long-term growth of local businesses.
However, Nichkawde emphasized that AN Global Consulting is driven not solely by “big” companies or startups, but rather by the resolute dedication of serious-minded SMEs to contribute to the nation’s progress. As this visionary partnership unfolds, AN Global Consulting’s pledge to empower and propel Nigeria’s SMEs onto the global stage is poised to redefine the landscape of economic growth and innovation.
