>At age 31, Ashish Thakkar has gone from being a penniless civil war refugee to heading a multi-million dollar pan-African conglomerate. He has enough wealth to be known as Africa’s youngest billionaire. But when it comes to wealth and business, Thakkar has his own view. At the center of his personal and professional vision are what he describes as the core values of “truth, love, and compassion.”

“When you do things with clean intention and clean heart, it always works out. I am a strong believer of that.”
