Syncfusion Kisumu: Empowering Talent, Building Futures
Building careers, communities, and a tech future in Kenya
Welcome to Syncfusion Kisumu
Syncfusion, a global leader in software tools since 2001, found a home in Kisumu, Kenya — a lively city by Lake Victoria — through its office, SF Software Services Kenya Limited. Kenya's economy is thriving, with over 55 million people, and Kisumu is full of young talent. Our office started with just 4 employees and now has 486, helping local families and shaping tech worldwide.
How It All Started
Seeing Potential in Kisumu
Kisumu is a key trade hub full of young talents, but many can't afford university. In 2018, our CEO, Daniel Jebaraj, began training high school grads in computer skills with a local nonprofit. One student amazed us by solving a tough spreadsheet problem in 5 minutes — most take 30! Unable to study further, he farmed to survive. That talent inspired us to open our office with 4 people, ready to grow.
