From Kibera to Dressing Kenya’s Elite | Ashok Sunny

KES 9 million in revenue, and almost nothing to show for it.Ashok Sunny started out altering and reselling thrift clothes in Kibera before making KES 5,000 suits. Today, Ashok Sunny Tailoring Limited serves CEOs, ambassadors and high-net-worth clients through luxury bespoke tailoring. The turning point came when he realised that strong sales did not necessarily mean a profitable business. Understanding his real costs, formalising the business and changing how he priced his work changed the trajectory. From KES 5,000 suits to KES 1 million corporate contracts, Ashok’s story is about learning to build the business behind the craft.
