Wisdom Mawuli Parku, the CEO of Majora Group, a privately registered company with subsidiaries in Travel and Education Abroad Consultancy, Photography and Printing has been listed by Forbes Africa in its prestigious 30under30 class of 2020.

Each year, FORBES AFRICA looks for resilient self-starters, innovators, entrepreneurs and disruptors who have the acumen to stay the course in their chosen field, come what may. Past honorees include Bruce Diale, Kwesta, Burna Boy,  Busi Mkhumbuzi Pooe, Davido, Yemi Alade, Vere Shaba, Nasty C and WizKid.

Majora Group was commenced in Obuasi just after he completed his National Service Program at age twenty – three (23). He started the company due to an unfavorable experience he encountered whiles a student in the university. He lost over Ghc3,000.00 when he had wanted to travel to the United States of America in 2014 and consulted a travel and tour company on campus. His visa was sadly turned down but it spurred him to conduct a detailed research in the travelling and ticketing industry, thence the birth of Majora Group. He started the company from his personal savings just after completing National Service. A little over Ten Thousand Ghana Cedis (Ghc10,000) was initially invested in the business as the start – up capital.

The full list of the Africa Forbes 30under30, class of 2020 has been published in the April Edition of the Forbes Africa Magazine.

The Artistic Mind of a Criminal

I used to have a client who is a professor when it comes to art, paintings and antiques. He paints one portrait and makes millions out of it and that really fascinated me so much that I started doing some research into the Art, paintings and antiques industry. I discovered that the painting industry in Ghana is very small and young but elsewhere in the world, it is a huge industry which contributes significantly to the economy of these countries. The USA economy in 2014 and 2015 benefited US$730 billion and US$763.6 billion respectively from the Art, Paintings and Antiques sector(1). US$12 billion (£9.2 billion) was contributed to the UK GDP in 2016 from the Art and Painting sector(2) with Singapore’s Art and Painting contributing S$2.13 billion to the GDP in 2013(3).
