  When I first shared the idea for   Pride AI and Business Solutions , the encouragement was overwhelming. Yet a few asked a thoughtful question: “Why the name Pride? Is it the right fit, especially for Ethiopia?” It’s a fair question.  Pride  can mean many things - self-confidence, achievement, heritage -  but for me, it’s not about ego. It’s about  legacy, purpose, and building something worth passing on. A Tribute to Legacy The name  Pride  is, first and foremost, a tribute to my late brother,  Dr. Solomon Belayneh .

Yes, we have our unique: Culture Priorities Challenges Skillset Economy Opportunities Regulatory environment These all demand a practical, localized perspective. However, a unique market doesn't insulate us from global demands. We cannot afford to 'do business as usual' while the world embraces state-of-the-art innovation and global best practices. Sticking to old ways is a limiting factor in truly transforming our businesses and engagements down the road. This starts with ensuring proper discipline in every aspect of our businesses – systematically challenging those limiting unique tr...
