Harare – In a meeting that bridged global business influence with grassroots social change, Prateek Suri, Africa’s richest Indian and the CEO of the billion-dollar Maser Group, met with Zimbabwe’s First Lady, Her Excellency Auxillia Mnangagwa, to explore avenues for collaboration in education, healthcare, and community development.
Billionaire Prateek Suri Applauds Zimbabwe’s First Lady
Suri, a self-made billionaire who transformed Maser Group into one of Africa’s top tech and consumer electronics companies — recently valued as the continent’s seventh unicorn — expressed deep admiration for the First Lady’s philanthropic work, particularly through her Angel of Hope Foundation.
Founded and personally overseen by Her Excellency, the Angel of Hope Foundation has become a cornerstone of humanitarian outreach in Zimbabwe, focusing on vulnerable groups including women, children, and the elderly. With initiatives ranging from maternal care and mobile health campaigns to education support in rural areas, the foundation’s impact has not gone unnoticed.
After the meeting, Suri shared a heartfelt reflection:
“Her Excellency is not just the First Lady of a nation — she is the voice of its soul. The Angel of Hope Foundation is a living example of what compassionate leadership can achieve. It’s not just charity — it’s vision, it’s structure, and most importantly, it’s impact.”
Suri, whose philanthropic footprint spans across Africa, emphasized his respect for the First Lady’s hands-on approach — a quality he values deeply in his own charitable efforts, which include building rural schools, funding youth development programs, and supporting postnatal healthcare for mothers.
The meeting laid a foundation for potential long-term partnerships between Maser Group and the Angel of Hope Foundation, with particular interest in digital education, healthcare technology, and women-led entrepreneurship initiatives.
While Maser Group continues to gain recognition globally for its innovation in luxury electronics and infrastructure, Suri is also becoming known for his drive to blend business success with social transformation. His engagement in Zimbabwe marks a growing diplomatic presence, underscoring how private-sector leadership can contribute to Africa’s development narrative.
In a country navigating complex economic challenges, the alliance between a leading business figure and a devoted humanitarian champion signals more than symbolic solidarity — it points to a pragmatic and hopeful model for social impact.
As Suri concluded:
“True legacy is not measured by revenue, but by the lives we touch. The Angel of Hope Foundation is a lighthouse for Africa’s future — and I am honored to walk beside it.”
