Africa's Potential

Born from Purpose

"I want to be part of determining what people think and talk about, and to use my exposure to impact the people, especially the youth."

On Purpose Group was founded on an intriguing combination of youthful ambition and wise prudence. Stepping straight out of high school, Obakeng Ngidi already had a career in broadcasting — but wanted more than just to be at the tail end of information dissemination.

Our love for people and our high value of purpose-orientation have led us to helping individuals, organisations and brands pursue purpose in the marketplace. Nothing is more fulfilling than being part of a story whose success is inside-out.

Core Values

01
Integrity

Every decision is measured against the standard of what is right, not merely what is profitable. We do not engage in any business that harms our stakeholders.

02
Collaboration

The ultimate expression of creativity is in the coming together of ideas to form a bigger idea — across platforms, industries, and people.

03
People

We believe in the potential of Africa, and exist to maximise her potential as well as that of her people. People are not a resource — they are our reason.

04
Diligence

Excellence is the result of hard work with attention to detail. We do not cut corners; we refine our approach until the work speaks for itself.

Our Brands

Four distinct companies, one unifying purpose. Each brand amplifies Africa's potential in its own lane.

Communications & Technology
Cornstarch Communications & Technology

Vehicle Rental & Mobility

"Drive your purpose."

A youth-led, black-owned vehicle rental company at the intersection of ambition and access — delivering a premium rental experience without the premium attitude.

Established in 2009 as an annual leadership and entrepreneurship development camp, impacting hundreds of young lives through events, skills development, and training.
