We say we’re doing great things, but then you look around and think, ‘Did someone forget to tell the roads? 👀 | The Corner Office EP. 13

In this episode of The Corner Office, host John Jack interviews Mesh Pillay, Co-founder and CEO of YW Capital, a globally renowned investment banking boutique focused on bringing international investment to South Africa.

Mesh shares how his background in major banks and his work at YW Capital have equipped him to tackle the challenges of funding South Africa’s infrastructure. He discusses the urgent need for reliable infrastructure, security, and logistics to attract global investors, and highlights how public-private partnerships can bridge gaps where government support falls short.

“In Johannesburg, developers are building their own roads and infrastructure just to keep up with demand… That’s almost the norm now, but it shouldn’t be," - Mesh Pillay, Co-founder and CEO of YW Capital.
