Renowned for their success with Superbalist, the online fashion store acquired by Takealot Group in 2014, Luke Jedeikin and Claude Hanan are back with a new endeavor: Bash. The dynamic duo recently sat down with Duncan McLeod on the TechCentral Show (TCS) to discuss their latest venture and its potential impact on the e-commerce landscape.

They shared insights into the pivotal moment when Takealot Group acquired Superbalist, illuminating the significance of the deal and its transformative effect on their previous venture.
Turning their attention to the present, the duo shed light on how the opportunity to collaborate with The Foschini Group (TFG) emerged. As a JSE-listed retail giant, TFG’s partnership marks a strategic move for Jedeikin and Hanan, as they endeavor to carve out a new niche in the online retail space.
