Nika Gamkrelidze is entering the preschool education business. The businessman announced this with BMGTV.
Gamkrelidze hopes that the opening of the first kindergarten will be possible this September. However, Gamkrelidze did not specify the amount of investment but said that together with partners, he would invest several million lari in the project.
"I believe that there is quite a large deficit of quality preschool education in the country, so together with my partners, I purchased one of the most interesting child-rearing methodology franchises from America. Hopefully, we will open the first kindergarten in September.
I hope the demand will be quite high because the infrastructure itself is very important for children, and most importantly, the methodology of how to raise a free person," - stated Nikoloz Gamkrelidze.
Additionally, as the businessman said in an interview with BMGTV, he is refraining from making large investments due to the political crisis in the country.
"What I'm investing in now are more startup businesses, I'm optimistic and believe in this country's future. I'm not making big investments at the moment, but I'm continuing the projects where I've already made commitments - whether it's care facilities or investments in education," - he noted.
Nikoloz Gamkrelidze is also one of the shareholders of "Alte University" and says that if the political processes in the country don't de-escalate, naturally, the crisis will harm the education sector as well.
Nikoloz Gamkrelidze's new business is "Leliani" - a space aimed at socializing people aged 65+ and caring for them according to their individual needs.
As of the businessman, although "Leliani" is newly opened, the demand is growing. "We are already 30-35% occupied, which makes us very happy," - said the businessman.
