Zuddl leverages on technology to help customers design immersive branded experience

Zuddl is an all-inclusive virtual and hybrid events platform, which helps enterprises design immersive branded experiences. The startup was founded in 2020 by Bharath Varma and Vedha Sayyaparaju, and has clients across the globe such as Kellogg’s, Microsoft, Dicks Sporting Goods,, BYJU’S, Grant Thornton, and NASSCOM amongst others.

Recently, Zuddl has raised USD13.35 million in a Series A round led by Alpha Wave Incubation (AWI), and Qualcomm Ventures LLC. According to Bharath Varma, Zuddl’s growth is attributed to enterprises’ need for greater customisability and control for their virtual and hybrid events. He adds that many of their clients are global organisations with remote teams, who have complex use cases that Zuddl helps solve easily, all the while being on-brand.
