What most entrepreneurs don’t achieve in a lifetime, he did in just over a decade. Mohammed Dewji single-handedly turned his father’s trading business into Tanzania’s largest import-export group. He grew Mohammed Enterprises Tanzania (MeTL) 30-fold and increased revenues from $30 million to $1.1 billion by diversifying into a multitude of sectors, including manufacturing, distribution, logistics, financial services, real estate, cement, energy and mobile telephony. It’s not surprising that many people have a hard time imagining the humble beginnings Dewji comes from.
