A 24-year-old electrical engineering student at the University of Zambia (UNZA) has transformed a simple campus inconvenience into a digital business that has now earned him a K1 million prize opportunity on the global stage.
Enock Chisulo, founder of Moteev, an AI-powered grocery delivery app, impressed judges with his innovation in the just ended prestigious 2-Minute Drill competition hosted by renowned entrepreneur David Meltzer.
Growing up, Chisulo was the child who dismantled radios and twisted copper wires into improvised inventions, teaching himself complex problem-solving long before he even set foot at UNZA.
But it was on campus, that Chisulo came up with this breakthrough idea.
Students were tired of spending money on transport and wasting hours in queues, a daily frustration that demanded a modern solution.
Chisulo shared with #Kalemba that it is this reason that he created Moteev, a mobile platform that allows students to buy groceries and have them delivered directly to their hostels.
“In simple terms, if Shoprite and Yango had a baby, that would be Moteev,” he told #Kalemba.
Today, Moteev serves more than 800 users across UNZA, Copperbelt University and Mukuba University and the young founder is already targeting urban markets in Lusaka and the Copperbelt where busy residents would gladly pay for convenience.
In 2025, Chisulo pitched Moteev in the 2-Minute Drill, a global entrepreneurship contest where founders explain their business in just 120 seconds.
Chisulo’s pitch stood out, earning him recognition as one of Zambia’s brightest emerging innovators and securing him a K1 million.
