Nkindi is the founder of Hooza Media, a Rwandan convergent digital media company founded in 2012, which operates in many African countries such as Rwanda, D.R Congo, Burundi, Senegal, Cameroon, Kenya, Uganda, Botswana, Tanzania, Guinea, Ivory Coast and Mali.[2][3][4] Nkindi, through Hooza Media, is known as the service provider of a 2-way audio channel low-tech news service in Rwanda and Africa accessible through feature phones, with no need for the internet.[5] The technology was used during the 2017 Rwandan presidential elections, helping the Rwanda National Electoral Commission (NEC) to strengthen its awareness campaign for civic education.[6]
