What are past projects, failures, or successes you’ve had in your career?
I’ve spent almost a decade in tech, including stints as CTO at high-growth startups like Dukaan and Rankz. Along the way I’ve experienced both the thrill of rapid user adoption and the sting of products that flopped despite our best efforts. Every success and failure taught me the same core lesson: truly understand your users’ pain points, then solve them in a way that creates real impact. Sometimes that means pivoting quickly, other times it means doubling down on a winning strategy—but it always means staying laser-focused on what people need and how they actually use your product.

What’s the Origin of the Idea for Playzo?
We saw a huge gap in interactive marketing & engagement tools. Most platforms offered limited games & quizzes with little room for customization The game libraries grew painfully slow & key features took forever to add. Like quizzes lacked advanced features like explanations, timers, & video embed. Marketers, educators, & content creators were stuck with rigid, outdated tools that didn’t deliver real engagement or conversions.
We listened closely to what the community wanted—more flexibility, more creativity, and more games that actually work—and built Playzo as the ultimate gamified & interactive content platform.
Why Are We Passionate About Playzo?
When 90% of global audience is playing games & preferring gamified or interactive content, what we are building at Playzo is not good-to-have but a must have because that's where the user attention is. Interactive & gamified content has emerged as the most powerful way to engage, educate & convert! And we want more & more people to be able to benefit from it instead of being restricted to few large enterprises with big pockets
What Problem is Playzo Solving & How?
Driving engagement & conversions is harder than ever. Traditional content formats—static banners/video, generic quizzes, and —fail to hold attention or drive meaningful actions.
Marketers struggle with ad fatigue and low conversions. Playzo’s gamified experiences hook users instantly, making engagement fun and rewarding. With customizable CTA-based end screens, games help convert players into customers effortlessly.
Educators find it tough to keep learners engaged. Playzo’s AI-powered quizzes, interactive puzzles, and gamified learning tools make education immersive, competitive, and fun, improving retention and participation.
