However, Knowledge Platform’s founder, Mahboob Mahmood, added, “Eneza is Africa’s ace at building a large, sustained, and monetised customer base at a very low cost, and I believe we are the emerging markets leader in gamified learning.”
“The combination is compelling. The future of learning involves both curricular and extra-curricular learning through formal and informal processes,” Mahmood concluded.
Both ventures were introduced by the telecom GSM association, which also provided support in this collaboration.
“We are thrilled about this collaboration and pleased to see two GSMA Innovation Fund alumni start-ups collaborate across continents to launch this unique African Asian edtech venture and continue to invest in education and learning solutions,” GSMA Mobile for Development Head Max Cuvellier Giacomelli commented.
