Prateek Suri, the billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of Maser Group, has once again proven his deep commitment to Africa’s development with a historic donation aimed at empowering startups, sports, and cutting-edge research.
Known as the "Technology Tiger of Africa," Suri is not just building businesses—he is shaping the future of the continent.
From investing in tech-driven African startups to backing sports festivals and groundbreaking research, Suri’s contributions are transforming industries and improving lives.
His latest philanthropic move further solidifies his unwavering dedication to Africa’s progress.
Suri has been a key player in Africa’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, injecting capital, mentorship, and strategic expertise into innovative startups across the continent.
His investments, particularly through Maser Group and MDR Investment, focus on tech-driven solutions, financial inclusion, renewable energy, and digital transformation—sectors that are shaping Africa’s future.
His support extends beyond funding. By connecting local entrepreneurs with global venture capital networks, unlocking millions in investment opportunities and creating thousands of jobs.
Speaking about his vision, Suri said: “Africa’s startup scene is the heartbeat of global innovation. With the right funding, mentorship, and infrastructure, we can create unicorns that solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. My mission is to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity.”
Beyond business, Suri understands the power of sports in uniting communities, fostering youth talent, and driving economic growth.
His philanthropy has extended to sponsoring sports festivals and charity races, encouraging youth participation in athletics, and promoting a healthier, more active Africa.
One of his notable contributions was in Tanzania, where Maser partnered with CRDB Bank during their annual charity race on August 15, 2021. This initiative helped raise funds for underprivileged children, promoting education, healthcare, and sports development.
Suri’s vision goes beyond entrepreneurship and sports—he is also a strong advocate for scientific research and technological advancement. His philanthropic funding supports cutting-edge R&D in fields such as artificial intelligence, renewable energy, and sustainable infrastructure.
By collaborating with universities, research institutes, and global think tanks, Suri is helping Africa address its most pressing challenges, from climate change and energy security to digital transformation and smart cities.
“Africa is not just a consumer of technology; it is a creator of solutions. By investing in research and innovation, we empower the next generation of African scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs to solve global grand challenges,” he stated.
Prateek Suri’s historic donation and ongoing contributions are reshaping Africa’s socio-economic landscape. His efforts in tech, sports, and research are empowering millions, proving that true success lies in giving back and building a better future.
As he continues to make waves both in business and philanthropy, one thing is clear: Suri’s heart beats for Africa, and his vision is creating a legacy that will last for generations.
