Charles Maleshila, an entrepreneur and computer scientist from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), has launched Plustube, a streaming platform created to give Congolese audiences a local alternative to international services like Netflix and Canal+.

Launched in 2024, Plustube offers a streaming service featuring both international and original content. It targets film and series enthusiasts with a multilingual interface, showing ambitions for international expansion.

Plustube emphasizes personalized user experience, letting viewers choose content that matches their preferences. Designed for users aged 18 and above, the platform includes an advanced search tool to sort videos by rating, release date, or country of origin.

Maleshila has also founded other digital ventures. In 2020, he launched Plustune, a platform for discovering, sharing, and streaming music and videos. The following year, he introduced Kookin, a digital tool for restaurants to simplify operations. The app lets restaurants create a professional page and manage menus, staff, delivery partners, and payments.

Maleshila earned a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology from Stratford University in India in 2018. He also trained in programming and web design at Aptech Learning and NIIT Pune, two Indian tech institutes.
