Nitin Gajria… Ce nom ne vous dit sûrement rien, et pourtant il est le «monsieur Afrique» de Google. Nitin Gajria est à la tête d'un projet numérique d'un milliard de dollars sur le continent. Il est à la tête de l'un des géants du web… Le patron de Google Afrique est basé à Johannesburg depuis trois ans. Pourtant lorsqu'on demande à Toby Shapshak, le rédacteur en chef de Stuff, un média sud-africain spécialisé dans la Tech, qui est Nitin Gajria, il répond : « Je n'en ai aucune idée ». Réponse provocatrice mais qui veut souligner la grande discrétion du patron de Google Afrique. S'il accepte de bavarder pour certains podcasts étonnants sur le développement personnel ou sur les compétences de survie, Nitin Gajria se fait cependant rare dans les médias traditionnels. « Je pense avoir vu une ou deux interviews de lui mais pas plus, je suis désolé de le dire. Une grande attention est portée sur le développement d'outils pour créer du lien entre les dirigeants de grandes entreprises et les médias. Mais je ne pense pas que Facebook et Google se soucient de ce que les médias africains disent d'eux. Et cela ne change certainement pas leur comportement. » ajoute Toby Shapshak. Père de deux enfants, Nitin Gajria, 43 ans, est né en Inde dans une famille d'entrepreneurs. Il passe les premières années de sa vie à Bombay. « C'est de là que je tiens mon amour pour les grandes villes, ma résilience et ma capacité d'adaptation aux changements de circonstances. » Son recrutement par Google, un concours de circonstances Diplômé d'un MBA en gestion d'entreprise à Calcutta, il travaille à Singapour, en Australie. Pendant plus de dix ans, il occupe des postes de direction dans différentes grandes entreprises. En 2016, il est recruté par Google. Un concours de circonstances, assure-t-il, lui qui dit ne jamais avoir eu de plan de carrière. Trois ans plus tard, il est promu à la tête de Google Afrique…  « Tout d'abord je ne suis pas un expert de l'Afrique, raconte Nitin Gajria. Je suis nouveau. Si j'ai été choisi, je pense que c'est pour ma connaissance du travail de Google. Donc mon travail consiste vraiment à faire en sorte que Google fonctionne mieux pour l'Afrique. » Nitin Gajria rejoint donc le club de ces Indiens à la tête des grandes Big Tech mondiales. Ses anciens collaborateurs le décrivent comme une personnalité « inspirante », un homme « perspicace et stratégique ». Ce qui motive Nitin Gajria, lui qui enfant raffolait des consoles de jeux, ce sont les nouvelles technologies. « Je suis vraiment passionné par le rôle que peut jouer la technologie dans la résolution de problèmes concrets. Et dans ce cadre de réflexion, je me sens vraiment privilégié d'être là où je suis aujourd'hui. De pouvoir voir comment Internet va faire la différence sur le continent. » Les manquements de Google en Afrique Cependant les spécialistes de la tech africaine s'interrogent sur ses ambitions comme Beaugeas Aurain Joyoum, directeur général du cabinet de veille stratégique ICT-Medias Strategies, et promoteur de Digital business africa : « Il est très peu présent aux différents forum sur les TIC télécom numériques en Afrique même quand il s'agit de participer à des rencontres en ligne, à des webinairs. Il y a par exemple des communautés de start up, des incubateurs de start up où il devrait être connu ou présenter la politique de Google. »  Nitin Gajriafait peu de déplacements même s'il se rend finalement au Togo en début d'année pour le lancement du câble de la fibre optique. « On se rend compte qu'ils se limitent simplement au déploiement de leur fibre optique pour permettre l'accessibilité à internet aux millions d'Africains, ce qui n'est pas mal. Mais c'est davantage pour vendre leurs services à ces millions d'utilisateurs africains », poursuit Beaugeas Aurain Joyoum. La presse africaine spécialisée met en avant les manquement de Google, notamment dans le paiement des taxes ou des contenus africains. « Comment Google compte accompagner les Etats Africains et les médias africains spécialisés sur le web pour qu'ils puissent avoir une relation de gagnant-gagnant ? Puisqu'en ce moment l'Afrique ne gagne pas encore véritablement de tout ce que Google a comme revenus en Afrique », interroge encore Beaugeas Aurain Joyoum.  Parmi les missions affichées du patron de Google Afrique : aider l'entreprenariat via le fond d'investissement africain doté de 50 millions de dollars… Par ailleurs à titre privé Nitin Gajria -qui se décrit lui-même comme un « Angel Investor »- soutient diverses start up en Afrique et en Asie.

Using free public WiFi has its risks, not least other users snooping on your data. It may seem like a convenience, especially while travelling overseas, but you should never use it without a VPN. These virtual private networks create a secure tunnel, as it were, that other users on the same network can't peer into or access your data. It's one of the things I use whenever I use any free public WiFi – anywhere. It's part of the utterly essential cybersecurity checklist we should all follow. We must “prepare our laziness in advance” NordVPN's Karolis Pabijanskas told Stuff – referring to the way we just accept cookies and other T&Cs without being conscious of how it affects our security. We need to reset our habits, and using a VPN is essential for using public WiFi.

Open-source software has evolved to be integrated into every part of our lives. Even if we don't necessarily know it. Proprietary software will likely become almost redundant as we move into cloud-accessible open-source options. Toby Shapshak speaks to Red Hat's Lee Miles to delve into more accessible software.

Toby Shapshak recently spoke to Uber's Rachel Holt, who leads Uber’s New Mobility organisation, which includes JUMP and all efforts across bikes, scooters, transit, hourly rentals, and more. Uber is more than just a taxi service these days -- although we haven't seen far more than cars in SA.

Toby Shapshak chats to key players in SA's solar energy industry, like Mike Peo who is the head of infrastructure and telecoms at Nedbank, along with the team at Eldo Energy. They went from making solar panels to managing the infrastructure related to the solar market. A market that has been growing rapidly in South Africa due to... obvious reasons. Increasingly, South Africans are looking for alternative energy sources, so let's hear what the experts suggest.

Technology has made what was once the domain of the professional available to the normal person.

Toby Shapshak speaks to Minister of Communications Stella Ndabeni about the development of digital skills in our country. The government has partnered with a US online education platform to bring important skills to South Africans at a fraction of the cost.

In this episode, James speaks to Toby Shapshak, editor-in-chief of Stuff magazine and writer for Forbes. Toby is a strong believer that innovation is better in Africa. He says innovative ideas are born of constraint, and because there's a great deal of need in Africa for novel ways to solve various problems, there's a constant stream of ideas coming out of the continent. He talks about how the rush of multinationals looking to invest in South Africa has led to the arrival of quantum computing, discusses the importance of digital anthropology within the mobile space, and examines how drones are being used not only to combat poachers, but also to autonomously deliver life-saving blood parcels to people in Rwanda.

Mike Fortin, corporate vice president at Microsoft and the lead in the newly established Africa Development Centre in Nairobi, sits down with Stuff editor-in-chief Toby Shapshak to talk about the company's $100 million investment in Kenya and Nigeria that will see it training 100 (and eventually 500) engineers with the sort of skills that'll enable to them to face the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution head-on.

My guest this week is Toby Shapshak the publisher and editor-in-chief of of Stuff magazine in South Africa. He is a journalist in his own right, a commentator on the digital economy and a proper tech geek. Toby and I met many years ago on an ill-fated visit to the launch of the Gautrain back in 2010 and have bumped into each other intermittently since then.

Toby Shapshak — Chris Anderson runs TED, arguably one of the most interesting companies in the world. It's a global phenomenon, presenting interesting talks on a range of subjects and has arguably defined a new era of public speaking and the way many people discover new subjects. These short, epigrammatic talks are now the gold standard for conferences and how knowledge can be shared in this video age of mobile devices. Chris is on the board of Global Citizen which has just hosted a star-studded concert in Johannesburg as part of the celebrations for Nelson Mandela, who would have turned 100 this year. I caught up with him to discuss the rise and rise of TED, the way technology can help education and spoke about his TED podcast; where he interviews some of the outstanding speakers about their fascinating subjects.

Major General Charles Bolden is a former astronaut, fighter pilot and NASA administrator. He sat down with Stuff magazine publisher and editor-in-chief Toby Shapshak and Stuff editor Craig Wilson to talk about his illustrious and varied career, how seeing the earth from space changed the way he thinks about it, and how bicycles might be more dangerous than space shuttles.

South African tech journalist Toby Shapshak deleted the Facebook app from his phone. „We’ll look back a hundred of years and be horrified of how quickly we gave up our privacy. People will think: who would do something like that to get a free social service?“ Toby, who has interviewed both Nelson Mandela and Steve Jobs, still believes that technology can be a source for good. But he says it’s up to us to decide how we will use it. We met Toby at the LOGIN conference in Vilnius to discuss how to escape social media addiction, end online harassment and why he didn’t upload a single photo of his newborn son online.

Toby Shapshak on innovation in Africa and mobile society Innovation + Society + Africa + Mobile + Future + Technology + STUFF ----more---- TRANSIT LOUNGE RADIO @ LOGIN 2018 Expert of Innovation in Africa KEYNOTE: Technology Toby Shapshak is the evangelist of better innovation – innovation that’s solving actual problems. For the past 15 years, he has been writing about technology and business innovations, and the impact it all has on Africa. His take on innovation born out of necessity became one of the most watched TED speeches ever. Toby started a reporter’s career by shadowing Nelson Mandela during his presidency; he then interviewed Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and has been featured in the New York Times. Today he’s the editor-in-chief and publisher of Stuff magazine, also a contributor to Forbes, Financial Mail, CNN, The Guardian, SxSW, and others "Innovation in Africa is the purest form: innovation out of necessity. Not Angry Birds, the innovations emerging from Africa allow farmers to check where they can get the best price for their produce, fishermen to be warned about storms, people to check whether medicines they are buying have expired, and rural cellphone users to send mobile money to each other using text messages. Even the pay–as–you–go payment system was pioneered in Africa." Shapshak has been writing about innovation and technology for the past 15 years and is writing a book on how it has become innovation out of necessity in Africa. He spoke at TED Global in June 2013 about how Africa is solving real problems for the rest of the world. East Africa accounts for about 80% of the world´s mobile money transactions, an industry that is projected to grow to $617–billion by 2016. All started in Kenya using the M–Pesa payment system which uses SMSes to send money like modern–day digital cheques. Now, half of Kenya´s GDP goes through mobile money. An estimated 80% of adults in Africa are unbanked, or some 326–million people. But they have a SIM card – it´s the bank card of Africa.With 1–billion people, Africa has 14% of the world´s population, most under the age of 30. The continent is where China was when its boom years began. Africa has been historically typecast as the “hopeless continent”. But a decade after being labelled that by The Economist, the magazine renamed it the “hopeful continent”. Six of the 10 fastest growing economies in the last decade were in Africa, according to The Economist. Sub–Saharan Africa´s real GDP growth rate has risen to an annual average of 5.7% over the past 10 years.And it is set to continue. The IMF forecasts that seven of the top 10 fastest–growing economies over the next five years will be on the continent. African economies will grow at 7% a year over the next 20 years, making sub–Saharan Africa the second–fastest growing region in the world after Asia.
