Azym Dossa and Easy Coach Dream
Dossa established his transportation firm right after leaving his previous job in the transportation industry to start his own business.
Before starting his own business, he spent 17 years as the Chief Financial Officer, gaining relevant experience in the transport industry.
He came from Canada to Kenya to set up the transportation business despite discouragement from his sons.
While in Kenya, he met stiff competition from the then-popular Akamba transportation firm that was famous with Kenyan passengers.
He took the challenge ventured into the business and increased the transportation charges. This looked like a setup for his early downfall, however, he stood his ground on the increased fare charges.
