Building Africa’s Future From Mauritius With Global Insight

For international investors and businesses, Africa offers vast opportunities but also presents a patchwork of legal systems, regulatory frameworks, and market realities. Navigating these differences requires more than ambition. It calls for a partner with regional insight and a strong international approach.

Órama is a licensed management company headquartered in Mauritius, working with clients worldwide who have interests across the African continent. Órama supports clients in building strong structures for their business across Africa and beyond. We design and implement holding companies, subsidiaries, and group structures that comply with both local regulations and international standards. We advise on cross-border expansion strategies, jurisdiction selection, and market entry pathways, while also providing transaction support through deal structuring, legal and financial coordination, and multi-country project management. Our expertise extends to navigating complex market environments in sectors such as energy, oil and gas, infrastructure, technology, and sustainable development. With a trusted network covering all 54 African jurisdictions, we deliver solutions that are locally accurate yet globally coherent. We also work in close collaboration with banks, other Management companies and law firms to ensure smooth execution while protecting stakeholder relationships.

Our work spans multiple jurisdictions, aligning global expectations with African market realities.

Why Mauritius Works for Global Investors

Mauritius offers a rare combination in the African context, particularly in respect to its political stability, a well-established and internationally connected banking system, no exchange control, and no capital gains tax. It is one of the most respected financial jurisdictions on the continent, making it a solid base for African and global operations.

From Mauritius, Órama helps clients put in place structures designed to support growth, manage risk, and adapt to evolving opportunities.

A Legal Network Covering All 54 African Jurisdictions

What sets Órama apart is our access to a legal network in all 54 African jurisdictions. Our CEO, who also serves as a board member of a Pan-African law firm, played a key role in helping the firm implement a system connecting trusted lawyers across the continent. While this network is managed by the Pan-African law firm, Órama benefits from it daily, enabling us to connect clients with local expertise and jurisdiction-specific insight.

This creates the ability to link Mauritius’ structured financial environment with the diverse realities of African transactions. Whether assisting with compliance queries, preparing documentation, or helping with onboarding, we work in a manner that supports each stage of the process.

Leadership with Proven Experience

Our CEO, Keseena chengadu, brings over 15 years of African market experience, an LLM in International Business Law at UCLAN Uk, and a recent 4 weeks course at Harvard University in Boston. She has been involved in national energy law reforms, multi-million-dollar transactions, and structuring projects in sectors including energy, infrastructure, technology, and sustainable development.

Her background means Órama is well positioned to support clients with the type of structuring work required for complex, multi-jurisdictional operations.

Your Strategic Partner for Africa

We work with an international client base entering or operating within Africa. Our focus is on strategic and multi-jurisdictional engagements that require understanding both local detail and the broader commercial picture.

Africa is dynamic. Each jurisdiction has its own legal systems, timelines, and regulatory priorities. Without the right guidance, opportunities can be delayed or lost. Órama’s role is to help clients approach these markets with a structure that is practical, informed, and suited to their objectives.

From a stable Mauritian base, we connect global ambition with African opportunity.
