Established in 2017, TINDA provides delivery services for e-commerce businesses, easing logistics for online and offline retailers alike. “Issues related to poorly referenced addresses, route misunderstandings, client availability hours, traffic jams, and other hassles will no longer stand in the way of your business,” the company promises.

TINDA’s services can be accessed via phone, SMS, WhatsApp, email, or its online platform. Upon delivering packages or mail, TINDA collects payment from customers on behalf of sellers, then transfers the funds to them using fintech solutions available in the DRC.

Prior to founding TINDA, he launched eMart.cd in 2016, a marketplace for local goods, where he served as CEO until 2021. The platform enables users to shop online with ease.

In addition, Maya coordinates the Central Africa E-Commerce and Fintech Expo, an annual gathering for sector stakeholders. The sixth edition of the event is scheduled for April 17-19, 2025.

His career began in 2011 at the International Bank for Africa in Congo (BIAC) as an IT assistant specializing in electronic banking.
