How It
all began
History
In 2001 Mutarisi moved to Botswana with the express intention of looking for a job. He has mentioned that his late father, who used to own a grain mill in the rural areas, was his inspiration for becoming an entrepreneur.
Early Life
I was born in Wedza. I grew up at Inyati Mine and attended Inyati Mine Primary School for my early education. I later went to Mavhudzi Secondary for high school
In 2006, using his own personal savings Mutarisi started Nash Paints as a paint shop. The first location was in a rundown building called Chikwanha Shopping Centre in Chitungwiza Town. Now he has over 56 branches throughout Zimbabwe.
Tinashe managed to transform the small Nash
Paints Company from 5 employees to Nash Holdings which houses Nash Paints
and other subsidiary companies which employees over 990 people and is spread across 4 other african countries
Educational Opinion
Ï know our economy is largely informal and its fast-becoming difficult to convince this generation that education is a necessity. The truth however, is that education remains a key enabler and necessity in life.It is important that our young people prepare themselves for a more formalised economy through acquiring education.
Tertiary education
I WENT TO THE FOLLOWING
- Chinhoyi University of Technology
- Plymouth Marjon University
Even if you choose self employment, education remains an integral skill
EDUCATIONAL ACCOLADES:
Master of Science Degree in Strategic Business Management

PHILANTHROPY
Tinashe Mutarisi is a lover of arts and entertainment and has provided support to some members of the local industry. These include Bustop TV , Saint floew and Jah Prayzah’s Military Touch Movement.
INVESTMENT
Nash Holdings, which was set up at the heels of Nash Paint’s success, has several subsidiaries which include Nash Paints itself, Eastlea Paints, Nashrin Cargo Carriers, Avion, Spec Paints, Fishmongers Penman, Furnishers Coloursel and Nash Furnitures.
ENTERTAINMENT
Nash Tv which is a production and promotion of high quality entertainment and digital content platform has helped artists to rise in the industry and make a name and a living for themselves. When the Covid pandemic
came, It affected the music industry and many artists suffered to make ends meet because people were no longer allowed to gather thus Nash Tv brought a solution to the problem by allowing artists to engage with their audience via live
streaming. This was pivotal in exposing some unknown artists by giving them a spot to
market themselves
