We’re here today to honour Rita Shah, a successful Indian entrepreneur whose company has become the byword for recycling in Ireland. Her story starts in Thika, a small industrial town in Kiambu County, Kenya, home to important historic sites like the Mugumo Gardens, where, legend has it, a seer prophesied the fall of British rule in Kenya. Born to parents Lalitaben and Mulchand Haria (originally of Mungni village in Jamnagar District of Gujarat, India), Rita is the eldest of three siblings.
