About the Founders
The seeds of KhiladiAdda were sown in the year of 2019 with the idea and efforts of 5 co-founders, Satyam Rastogi (CEO), Siddharth Srivastava (CMO), Kushagra Tyagi, Harsh Prasad (CTO), Shashi Bhushan Verma. The idea was brewed and developed at the corridors of ANDC College by young and dynamic cofounders who were barely 18-20 years old when it all started.
Being gaming enthusiasts inspired them to do something in the Gaming industry which was at nascent stage at that time. Thus, the enthusiasm and the sheer will to do something gave birth to KhiladiAdda which allows users to play games like BGMI, Free Fire, quizzes and other casual games with the opportunity to earn based on their gaming skills.
Our young minds were groomed and sharpened by the ANDC incubator and it’s CEO Mr. Shadab Mobin who is also chief Advisor to the company. Satyam and Siddharth hails from a very humble background. Born in the small town of peelibheet, their lack of resources didn’t stop them from pursuing their dreams.
