How Safaricom Stole my Idea after submitting it to Zindua Portal
Newsroom Updated 1 min read
In July, I pitched a business idea to Safaricom via its Zindua platform.
A few days later, I was subsequently informed my idea was under review.
Finally, I received the final word about my idea, that it could not be implemented and I became contented.
However, what baffles me is that Safaricom went ahead and rolled out a similar product, albeit with slightly changed features and conditions.
I wonder whether this is Safaricom’s modus operandi to solicit ideas from the public, “reject” them as untenable but still go ahead and roll out similar products with slightly changed features to hoodwink the originators of the ideas.
I feel this is not fair. And if Safaricom cares to listen, my contact is 0701031087. Standard Media
