Team

We have assembled an exceptional team that is deeply passionate about our industry and our featured products. Outside of work, we enjoy various activities such as savoring Kenyan tea, hiking, indulging in poetry, music and art, exploring new local businesses, and much more. We prioritize qualities such as curiosity, simplicity, inclusivity, efficiency, and an unyielding commitment to customer satisfaction. Our locations are in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Nairobi, Kenya.

History

Our journey began simultaneously in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Hyderabad, India, weaving together a compelling narrative. Our founder, Luka Mutinda, conducted groundbreaking business experiments in Tulsa’s historic Black Wall Street district, supported by a non-dilutive pebble grant. Meanwhile, our co-founder, Neville Lusimba, was busy researching and developing technology products tailored for Indian and African merchants..

Luka witnessed firsthand how American small businesses leveraged Point of Sale (PoS) technology to compete with larger competitors, while Neville immersed himself in the world of fintech software, observing how it transformed technology distribution in emerging markets. Both shared a deep passion to bring digital solutions to these markets. This shared vision led to the incorporation of DUKAPAQ Inc. in 2022 and continues to guide us as we expand our product offerings from Tulsa to the rest of the world.
