At Quizy, we make the meaningful value of people's device time by incentivising their efforts where they learn about trending topics/news all in the form of quizzes because this is the age of content and information. We are well poised to disrupt the Information gamifying business. We are excited and grateful to have amazing partners in the journey who believed and are backing us in the journey," said Amit Kumar, co-founder of Quizy.
