“The chain of distribution in the market is expensive, with importation taking the chunk of it; therefore by making our products locally, not only do we cut cost but we can also export, which on the long run lifts the standard of Nigeria products and enhance growth in the industry”, he stated.

Mirchandani also spoke on the versatility of the average Nigerian which he said is a key factor in relating with the Nigerian market system. In his words: “Nigerians are very aggressive, innovative, and courageous with great potentials; and these traits are clearly seen in how we maintain a lead role in a highly competitive business environment”.
