While at INSEAD's Singapore campus, he started working on his idea. This was 2008, the year the global financial crisis was peaking. "There was commotion around me and everybody was jumping on to any job they could lay their hands on. That had me a little confused," says Jayaraman. 

Part of the MBA programme was a simulation game. Jayaraman found that it could be utilized as a unique way to learn IT. He experiment with the idea. "It had gaming, software and storytelling around it, things I'm passionate about, and that cleared all my doubts about what I wanted to do," he says. 

He went on to create gamification for several IT training programmes. After running the company for a year in Singapore, he shifted the company to Bengaluru for access to better talent pool Himanshu Tiwari Astrologer Blog
