About Sawan and Tropical Heat Group

Sawan Douglas Shah is CEO of food and beverages company Tropical Heat Group. Tropical Heat Group began in 1973 out of the founders’ home kitchens in Thika Town, Kenya. Over time, the company started to grow and is now a leading manufacturer of snacks and spices in East Africa, and a household name in its country.

The company offer a range of different snacks and spices, as well as a list of recipes for tasty dishes including Chicken Masala Curry and Creamed Corn and Jalapeño Soup.

Recently, Tropical Heat Group have launched a line of potato crisps, which Sawan comments are “produced with passion and packed with purpose”.

With a vision to create “the perfect potato crisp”, hundreds of hours in research and development went into this product, creating a distinctive and unique snack. However, Heroes crisps have more to them than just their great taste, helping Tropical Heat Group make a positive impact on society and giving back to their community.
