With the participation of over 20 partners, the training session underscored Glovo’s commitment to supporting local SMEs. Partners received practical guidance on managing their finances, leveraging online marketing, and effectively utilizing the Glovo platform for growth.
Caroline Mutuku, General Manager of Glovo Kenya, highlighted the initiative’s significance: “Our goal with Glovo Partners Day is to equip our partners with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed. By supporting our partners, we contribute to the local economy and create a stronger community.”
A representative from Ongoza noted, “Partnering with Glovo for this event allowed us to extend our mission of empowering local entrepreneurs. The training provided practical tools and insights crucial for sustainable business growth.”
One of the participating partners, Shaulene Lulahi, from BiteBox Kenya, shared her experience: “Through Glovo’s teaching, I’ve learned a lot about how businesses can grow their presence on a global scale. I’m definitely very inspired by the potential for expansion.”
