Where we came from:Decko Africa is a proudly Kenyan company and a leader in the delivery of turnkey telecommunication projects in Kenya & the Pan African region. In 2006 our CEO Kirit Rajput formed Decko Limited. The initial vision of the company was to provide supply of building materials and civil works services for GSM/BTS rollouts for various telecom projects in Kenya. Since then Decko has expanded to offer turnkey GSM site build solutions and to date built over 350 BTS sites. A decade in the making and we pride ourselves as a leader in the delivery of large-scale Fibre Optic and Data Network projects across the region and we are privileged to be associated and working with leading telecom vendors across the region.
