Scrella, a technology-driven device insurance company, has been recognised on the 2025 BusinessDay Top 100 Fastest Growing Small and Medium Enterprises in Nigeria, highlighting its growth and impact in the SME sector.
The accolade positions Scrella among companies noted for innovation, scalability, and market relevance.
Established in 2023, Scrella operates within Nigeria’s emerging insurtech space, providing smartphone insurance solutions designed to improve access and efficiency in device protection.
The company focuses on reducing traditional barriers associated with device insurance through the use of digital tools and automated processes.
Central to Scrella’s operations is the use of artificial intelligence for remote device inspection, which eliminates the need for physical assessments.
This approach enables customers to complete the insurance process without in-person visits or extensive paperwork.
According to the company, its no-appearance sign-up process is intended to improve convenience and reduce friction in accessing device insurance.
Scrella offers coverage for both new and in-use smartphones, a model that broadens participation beyond first-time device buyers.
The company states that this structure supports wider adoption of insurance among individuals who may previously have been excluded from conventional coverage options.
Affordability and financial inclusion form part of Scrella’s operating priorities. Its insurance products are structured to accommodate users across different income levels, with the aim of allowing more Nigerians to protect their devices without undue financial pressure.
The company was founded by Gbenga Adigun, whose professional background spans banking, finance, construction and logistics.
Adigun spent 12 years in the financial services sector at Guaranty Trust Bank and ARM before transitioning into construction and construction logistics in 2020.
He is the Founder and Co-CEO of Rebar Perfecta, where he oversees finance and logistics operations.
According to Adigun, Scrella was conceived in response to challenges around electronic device preservation and the potential application of artificial intelligence to everyday consumer needs. The company was launched in 2023 with a focus on building a scalable and technology-enabled insurance platform.
The BusinessDay Top 100 Fastest Growing SMEs ranking is determined using criteria such as revenue growth, scalability, innovation, market expansion and business sustainability.
