Accra, GhanaPuoza der Gamaliel believes that no one should have to travel to get information anymore. This is why he's put so much time and energy into creating the SMS gateway that makes Esoko the powerful communication tool that it is. Simply put, a mobile operator connects to Esoko's database and passes us the subscriber text messages; we then formulate responses and send them back, in realtime, to the corresponding subscribers. Remarkably, Puoza grew up in a small village in Northern Ghana and didn't even lay eyes on a computer until his mid-twenties. He was immediately entranced by what he saw, and after learning about the mouse and monitor he taught himself how to write code in all the languages he could get his hands on. He is still so taken with "this device that gives you the ability to create anything you want" and after 4 years with BusyLab, he's still excited about the possibilities Esoko holds. Because in Puoza's mind, the possibilities of what technology can do are endless. So why not create products that can bring information to his friends and family in Nandom, Ghana, giving them the ability to make better business decisions just by picking up their mobile phones? No travelling, no trouble, but realtime information at their disposal, all thanks to Puoza's SMS gateway.
