We used to play a lot of games at Quadplex.com.

However, when it started charging its users some time in November 2004, we had to quit the site as we were not comfortable paying money online.

After I graduated from high school in March 2005, I joined RJ Softwares. Then, I and my brother decided to create a word game site that would have the best of features and would be free for all.

Your father runs a grille-and-blade manufacturing unit in Dum Dum on the outskirts of Kolkata. His work and virtual gaming are not even remotely connected. . . what made his sons walk a path so very different?

My brother first got a computer in 1994 and has been interested in IT since then. He formed RJ Softwares in 2000, which initially offered Web solutions.

As our service was fast and affordable, and because we knew we were much better than the competition, we chose to expand the IT business instead of joining the family business.
