His career began as a chartered accountant with PricewaterhouseCoopers in London. Sachen Gudka would then move back to Kenya in 1995 when his family acquired The Rodwell Press Limited in Mombasa.
He would help run the business which would lead to them opening another plant in Nairobi in 2000. In 2005, the business would merge with one of India’s largest labels company; the Interlabels.
