About Kari Group

Building the digital backbone
of South Africa's economy.

Kari Group is a proudly South African technology company founded to build practical, affordable, and impactful digital solutions for the sectors that need it most — small business, government procurement, and healthcare.


We are not a consultancy. We build. Our platforms are live, operational, and serving real South African businesses and clinics today — with a roadmap that extends across sub-Saharan Africa.


Headquartered in Johannesburg, Kari Group is POPIA-compliant, B-BBEE Level 1, and deeply committed to the growth of South Africa's digital economy.

Economic Impact
Every SME we help win a tender and every clinic we digitise creates ripple effects across South Africa's growth economy.
