How To Build A Billion Rand/Year E-commerce Business - Luke Jedeikin & Claude Hanan, Bash

Season 4 Episode 7

This week, we are thrilled to welcome, Luke Jedeikin and Claude Hanan, the founders of Superbalist and Bash, two extremely well known South African e-commerce businesses.

They take us through the journey of Superbalist, discussing its inception, growth to an impressive 1 billion rand per year, and eventual exit.

We also delve into the personal challenges they faced when they left a high-performing business just as hard lockdown began, leaving them with little to do, and how the situation forced them to confront their identities.

They take us through the genius strategy of Bash, how it came to be and the ambitious plans they have, not only for the business, but for the South African retail industry as a whole.

Tune in for an e-commerce master class filled with actionable advice and valuable takeaways.
