They say “Go big or go home” right? Well Theo Baloyi, the founder of Bathu, definitely went big and brought home four prestigious awards at the World Business Outlook Awards in Bangkok, China. It is safe to say that his vision for global expansion is not out of reach for the creative genius.
Bathu has established itself as a pioneer in the industry and has been recognised with well-deserved awards, such as Entrepreneur of the Year, Fastest Growing Sneaker Brand, Most Innovative Marketing Strategy, and Excellence in Brand Awareness. This then makes him a 5x Entrepreneur of the year award winner.
However, Theo states that these awards are not just milestones. “They represent the relentless dedication and hard work of our incredible team, as well as the unwavering support from our amazing customers.”
Taking to his Instagram account to share this exciting news, Theo also wrote, “We believe that building a sustainable business goes beyond profit—it’s about creating a positive impact in the communities we serve and fostering a global vision that inspires others.”
“Bathu – A shoe brand with a soul. A shoe brand that Africans can proudly affiliate with a brand that reignites hope and creates sustainable jobs,” he concluded.
If there’s anything that Bathu’s big moves have taught us this year, it is that consistency is key and it sure does pay off. Bathu Group, a team that has been making waves with its rapid growth and innovation has earned itself a pat on the back for always delivering each chance they get. What a way to end off 2024!
