MDR Investments, the investment arm of Maser Group, is rapidly scaling its footprint across Africa and other emerging markets as it pushes forward with an ambitious expansion strategy valued at up to $2 billion.
Spearheaded by Prateek Suri, the influential entrepreneur behind global technology brand Maser and a leading figure in Africa’s investment landscape, MDR Investments is positioning itself as a transformative force across the continent’s high-impact sectors.
The firm manages a dynamic $500 million fund, channeling capital into infrastructure, mining, shipping, advanced technology, AI-driven enterprises, and data center development. Its investment philosophy focuses on long-term value creation, national development, and sustainable economic acceleration.

Across Africa, MDR Investments has played a catalytic role in major infrastructure and mining developments in Zambia, Ghana, Tanzania, and the Central African Republic, working side-by-side with governments through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) models. These collaborations aim to responsibly unlock mineral assets, enhance local value chains, and boost economic resilience.
Nigeria stands out as a priority hub for the investment powerhouse. MDR currently has active engagements in energy, logistics, solid minerals, emerging technologies, and AI-driven public sector digitisation. The firm is also eyeing opportunities in port development, creative industry financing, and next-generation data center expansion; all areas aligned with Nigeria’s push to attract FDI and diversify its economic base.
MDR’s global expansion also includes a recent entry into Mendoza, Argentina, through a major copper mining partnership, reinforcing its position as a cross-continental investment leader.
At the core of this growth is Prateek Suri’s entrepreneurial evolution, a journey that began unexpectedly with a single electronics shipment into Africa and has since grown into one of the continent’s most notable investment success stories. From building Maser into a global tech brand to steering multi-billion-dollar development initiatives, Suri has emerged as a key architect of Africa’s new economic era.
Under his leadership, MDR Investments operates as more than a financier; it acts as a nation-building partner, empowering governments, enabling innovation, and supporting sustainable prosperity across Africa, with Nigeria as a central focus.
