ICTP 355: Exploring the tech scene in West Africa, with Kevan Rajaram

In our continuing effort to increase our awareness of the tech scene in Africa, we chat with Caribbean Data Scientist, Kevan Rajaram, who did a short stint working as the Head of Business Intelligence for a company in West Africa, specifically Côte d’Ivoire (the Ivory Coast).

During our conversation, Kevan shared with us, among other things:

  *  how he ended up in Côte d'Ivoire;

  *  his first impressions of the tech ecosystem and daily life;

   *  what stood out for him regarding how data regulation and digital sovereignty are handled; and

  *  lessons he learnt and has brought back with him to the Caribbean.
