Think tank

The operator that writes the rule as the market is built.

PIPRA Africa Holdings operates simultaneously as a technology company and as a think tank. The first deploys solutions and generates revenue; the second shapes the policies, standards and frameworks that make deployment possible and sustainable.

Method

Four disciplines. Never a supposition for a fact.

The framework is written from four combined perspectives — corporate strategy, business strategy, African multi-territorial marketing and socio-community anthropology. These disciplines structure the analysis; they never allow a verifiable datum to be replaced by a supposition.

Three registers of information run through every page: findings from PIPRA’s own record, projections and targets, and external benchmarks — each labelled with its state.
