Meet Mr Glitch: The Nairobi IT Boss Who Gifted Smochas to Strangers on His Birthday

In a city where birthdays are often marked by private parties and flashy celebrations, one young entrepreneur chose to do things differently.

Mr Glitch, a fast-rising technology entrepreneur and one of the youngest IT shop owners operating at the iconic Bazaar Building, turned his special day into a moment of generosity that touched many in Nairobi’s streets.

Known within tech circles for running a thriving computer shop in Nairobi’s central business district, Mr Glitch has built his brand on passion, skill, and consistency. 

But when his birthday came around, instead of hosting an exclusive celebration, the young entrepreneur stepped out into the streets of Nairobi with a different plan.

He purchased trays of eggs, smokies, and smochas from a local street vendor, a move that not only supported a small-scale trader but also set the stage for what would become a heartwarming public moment. Rather than keeping the food for a private gathering, Mr Glitch distributed it freely to random people across the city.

Passersby, from boda boda riders and street vendors to office workers and casual pedestrians, were pleasantly surprised as he handed out the treats with a smile. For many, it was a simple but meaningful gesture in the middle of a busy day in the capital.

Videos and photos of the act quickly made rounds on social media, with Kenyans praising him for using a personal milestone to uplift others. The celebration sparked conversations online about kindness, youth leadership, and the evolving face of entrepreneurship in Nairobi.

The gesture did more than trend, it highlighted the growing influence of young innovators who are redefining success beyond profits. For Mr Glitch, technology may be his business, but community is clearly part of his mission.
