Maneesh Dhooper aka. Sooper Dhooper, is Co-Founder of Planet Spark.

A curious child since birth, Maneesh was punished to stand-out of the class because he asked his teacher why was minus and minus plus. That was just the beginning. History repeated in the history class when he debated with his history teacher that the biggest reason for the exit of Britishers from India was the Second World War.

Adulthood killed some of the curiosity and he programmed himself to become a question solver to get into an engineering college Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology(NSIT) and an MBA from XLRI Jamshedpur. His love for learning was rekindled when he led the Africa University project at Novartis Switzerland.

After 2 years in Europe, he took the plunge into entrepreneurship and returned to India to start Jobingo, an e-learning platform for skills development. There were no takers for his programs in that age-group and income segment. It was then that he decided to impact the primary school segment. After a stint as the AVP of Education Services at UrbanClap, he and Kunal met thousands of times at Chaayos in Galleria and thus, Planet Spark was born!

Keeping the culture, we have made Chaayos our secondary office. All interviews and meetings happen there.
