Purav Shah, Founder & CEO

A consultant by profession and an entrepreneur by nature, Purav Shah’s zest for work have guided him through 18+ years of his career. During his professional stints, he travelled places, explored the local culture, food, sights and events. A common observation during all his trips specified a void that existed in terms of bridging the gap between inspiration, planning, traveling memories. With the advent of 360 videos, VR/AR/MR, he was compelled to think, how has the life of a traveler changed in the last decade?

There is so much information pertaining to travel online that it has become over whelming and redundant. It is impossible to hit the right destination and that too with a video on the first search result. In fact, the information is unorganized, unstructured and non curated which makes the inspiration, research and planning exercise a lengthy, cumbersome and confusing affair. “Apart from boarding passes on our phone, nothing has changed. Statistics say
that more than 70 percent of the people first book and then plan. Shouldn’t it be the other way around – that we go to a platform to get inspired by very rich content,along with highly curated, non-redundant and contextual information pertaining to every point of interest around the globe?. And what if we can leverage 360/VR/AR to make these experiences immersive and interactive,” speaks Purav.

" QuaQua strives to translate world's travel experiences into captivating 360 videos and AR/VR stories to provide real and immersive end to end travel experiences"

This very thought triggered the inception ideaof Hyderabad based QuaQua Experiences. A digital experience platform that integrates 360-degree virtual reality content for the global travel an tourism industry, QuaQua strives to translate world'stravel experiences into captivating 360 videos and AR/VR stories to provide real and immersive end to end travel experiences. Purav’s admiration for process makes QuaQua an enterprise in a start-up mode where every metrics is pre-defined,every feature in a product preconceived and where every individual follows a process/ framework/model to deliver on day to day basis. His tryst with fortune 500 companies have imbibed certain best practices pertaining to people, process and technology which is part of QuaQua’s cultural fabric.
