“Metta is headquartered in Hong Kong. We also have our offices in Bahrain and also Nairobi,” Chesang said.

Among individual participants who took part on the event was David Maina, an artist who sells his creative paintings through a Nairobi gallery. He told Hustle that he sells his art work and gets orders on some instances when he showcases his products during Metta Nairobi’s Events.

 “I have some art that I sell for as much as Sh15, 000 and they normally get their market here,” Maina says.

 Kipato Unbranded, who won some funding during the season 2 of KCB Lion that airs on KTN was also among the top participants in the event that was marked with pomp and array fo networking.  

Others who took part were KWV wines, Cask Barrey wine distributers, Amani ya Juu which is a fashion and jewelry outfit, Adelle Dejak, Foot Prints, SheillaAnn clothing line and Tewa who are an artist group.

“We expose our participants to the market. Those that showcase their products get an opportunity for the public to know about them,” Chesang said.
