We build games for the desi at heart.
The story
Desi Mauj started exactly how you would expect: at a party. Tapan was hosting a housewarming. He had the perfect playlist and the right snacks, but no games that actually fit the crowd. So, we built our own. Fast, fun, and completely browser-based so there is zero setup required.
The Team
Desi Mauj is built by Tapan Desai & Purva Chawan.
Tapan is a builder, a chai loyalist, and a professional “one more round” instigator.
Purva is the design wizard, a coffee defender, and the chief idea tester.
And yes, the games have been heavily vetted by a very tough crowd.
“This is going to be a big hit at my next Diwali party!”
Who is this for?
This is for anyone who has ever argued “SRK vs Salman” at a cousins sleepover, a Diwali party, or a random Wednesday night.
Friends, families, office socials, community events and weddings.
